I love chicken pot pie but I hadn’t tried to make it in the past because of the crust. I’m sure the crust is an easy thing to do but I can be a lazy chef sometimes so I just didn’t look it up. For those of you like me who want a super simple yet totally delicious pot pie, you’re going to love how easy it is to make this Chicken Pot Pie with Stuffing Crust. I use a boxed stuffing mix because I love the seasoning in it & it adds an amazing flavor to the chicken & vegetable mixture.
Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie with Stuffing Crust
- 4 chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces, boneless & skinless

- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

One of the reasons that I love Chicken Pot Pie with Stovetop stuffing is that it doesn’t take a lot to make it due to the short cut on the stuffing. The problem is usually one pan isn’t enough for most family gatherings as people are always coming back for seconds and thirds.
Chicken Pot Pie with Stuffing Crust
This meal is perfect for the holiday season! It has everything you need for a balanced meal – vegetables & chicken plus that delicious stuffing topping.
I always choose fresh Canadian chicken for my recipes because of quality matters! When I choose chicken raised by a Canadian farmer, I know that it’s been raised according to strict safety & quality guidelines.
Before we start cooking the chicken pot pie with stuffing crust, make sure you Preheat the oven to 400F. Nothing like having the food ready to go but your oven isn’t.
Cook the Stove Top chicken stuffing mix according to directions on the box & set aside.
In a large frying pan, cook chicken with 1 tablespoon butter.
Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, pour chicken evenly over the bottom of a 13×9 casserole dish.
Next in chicken pot pie with stuffing crust is to get those veggies cooked to perfection. In that same frying pan, saute all vegetables with 2 tablespoons butter.
Once vegetables are done (softened slightly), sprinkle them evenly over the chicken in the casserole dish.
In a medium saucepan, combine milk, soup & flour. Stir constantly, to prevent burning or lumps, over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. This sauce helps all the flavors meld together as it bakes.
Pour soup mixture over chicken & vegetables then stir well to evenly coat.
Now it is time for that delicious stovetop stuffing to add a little crunchy texture to the dish. Spread the stuffing evenly over the chicken & vegetable mixture.
All that is left for the chicken pot pie with stuffing crust is to Bake it for 25 minutes. Don’t overcook it as you don’t want the top stuffing burnt.
Just take out the chicken pot pie with stuffing crust of the oven once it is done. I suggest you let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Once it has cooled serve up the delicious and hearty meal that everyone is sure to love. I know my family loves it even when it isn’t around Thanksgiving.

This recipe looks delicious and easy. When I think of chicken pot pie I always think of a difficult dinner but I could totally do this!
Thank you for your post!
Is there a way to make this with something other than normal flour? Can you use coconut flour instead? Or maybe leave it out altogether?
Thanks
Hi Mia! The flour helps to thicken the stew a bit. Perhaps you could try reducing the amount of milk but about 1/4 cup. I haven’t tried coconut flour before so I don’t know if it would change the taste at all. I hope that helps!
You really don’t need the flour at all. Just add less milk, maybe only a 1/3 or 1/2 cup.
It looks delicious!
I hope you enjoy it, Nancy!
You can use a slurry made of cornstarch and water. That thickens it, too
Can this be made a day ahead and then just baked the next day? Can’t see any reason it wouldn’t work well that way.
Hi Justi! I would add the stuffing topping just before it’s baked but everything else can be put together the day before.
Do you need to mix the stuffing boxes according to their recipes first? Or add them dry to the top of be casserole?
The recipe says to prepare the stuffing mixes according to package directions.
Hi Ashley! Sorry, this question slipped past me. You make the stuffing according to the box instructions first.
I made this recipe last night. Went exactly by the directions. I don’t know if I was supposed to drain the juice after I cook the chicken or not but I did not drain it because I thought you needed it with that much flour it used to thicken it up. It added flavor and the thick Of the gravy was perfect. It was absolutely to die for. My husband and I both loved it. I will definitely keep this one and make it many times again. If you love chicken pot pie you must try this. Oh, I just crumbled the cooked dressing on top I did not smooth it out it got nice and crispy and delicious.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Sally! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it!
Recipe looks super, if I get stuffing like Paxo, seasoned herbed crumbs, what do I add to cook it?
Stuffing a turkey I normally mix crumbs with hot water then add sausage meat.

Hi! For any sort of stuffing, you still prepare it according to the directions on the package. So just hot water like normal. You could add in things like onion, celery, etc if you want to but all you really need is the bread crumbs, seasoning in the package and hot water.
