When it comes to comfort food, few dishes can rival the warm, creamy goodness of chicken pot pie, but making traditional chicken pot pie from scratch can be time-consuming, especially on busy weeknights. That’s where this my easy chicken pot pie w/crescent rolls comes in! By using crescent rolls instead of homemade pie crust, you can enjoy all the rich flavors and hearty satisfaction of chicken pot pie with a fraction of the effort.

Why Crescent Rolls?
Crescent rolls are a game-changer for home cooks looking to save time without sacrificing taste. They bake up golden and flaky, providing the perfect topping for a creamy chicken and vegetable filling. Plus, they’re widely available in grocery stores and incredibly easy to work with.
Ingredients for Easy Chicken Pot Pie w/Crescent Rolls
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can green beans
- 1 can of sliced carrots
- 1 can of whole corn
- 1 can of diced white potatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing on top)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- Put ½ of the crescent rolls in the baking dish and allow the bottom part to cook.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, vegetables, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Transfer to baking dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish or a medium-sized casserole dish.
- Add the crescent rolls: Open the package of crescent rolls and arrange the triangles over the filling, overlapping slightly to cover as much as possible. It’s fine if a few gaps remain— the rolls will expand as they bake.
- Brush with butter: For extra flavor and a golden finish, brush the tops of the crescent rolls with melted butter (optional).
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and serve: Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the creamy filling and flaky topping!
