Homemade Chicken Pot Pie is a comfort food for many people and it's one of my daughter's favorite recipes. This recipe is easy to make and can be made as a whole pie or individual mini pot pies.
Do you have a favorite comfort food recipe? For my daughter, Olivia, it would be homemade chicken pot pie. I started making my own recipe for chicken pot pie when Olivia was a baby. I would make the filling only and put it in a blender to make it safe for her to eat. SHE LOVED IT.
Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
I continued making this recipe for homemade chicken pot pie and Olivia continued to love it. When asked what was the one thing she loved about me for a preschool Mother's Day program she said my chicken pot pie.
All the other kids were saying how nice or kind or pretty their mom is and Olivia said "My mom makes the best chicken pot pie." I still make this recipe and my girl still loves it.
You can make this chicken pot pie as a large family-style pie or make individual pot pies...which is really how I like to do it.
You can even freeze the filling mixture if you're only making a few individual pot pies. The mixture freezes well and has helped me get a quick dinner on the table time and time again when the kids were younger and involved in many after school activities.

Just wondering what temperature you are using when making the individual pot pies? As I have gone over your post and recipe several times and the only information that I can find is the length of time the pies need to be in a pre- heated oven for.
I updated the recipe card with the correct temperature and sent you an email as well Melissa. Hope you received it! Thank you!

Love, love, love chicken pot pie. I usually make a 9x13 pan of it once a month during the winter months...I think the leftovers are probably better than when it's fresh! 😉
