Chicken Pot Pie (w/crescent rolls)

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!
