Foods to pair with chicken pot pie

A common side dish for chicken pot pie is a green salad, steamed vegetables such as carrots or green beans, or roasted potatoes. Some people also like to serve crusty bread or rolls to soak up the creamy filling.

How long to air fry frozen chicken pot pie

It typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes to air fry a frozen chicken pot pie in an air fryer set at 400°F (200°C). However, cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pie and the wattage of your air fryer, so it’s best to check the internal temperature of the filling to ensure that it has reached 165°F (74°C). If the pie isn’t fully cooked, give it a few more minutes in the air fryer, checking the temperature regularly.

Should I thaw frozen pot pie before baking?

It’s not necessary to thaw a frozen pot pie before baking it in the oven. In fact, many frozen pot pies are designed to be baked directly from the freezer.

To bake a frozen pot pie, simply preheat your air fryer to the temperature specified on the packaging, and bake for the specified time, usually around 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.

However, if you prefer a softer crust, you can let the pot pie thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking it in the oven. This will help ensure that the crust cooks evenly and doesn’t burn before the filling is fully heated.

How to store chicken pot pie leftover

To store leftover chicken pot pie, follow these steps:

  • Let the pie cool to room temperature.
  • Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or place it in an airtight container.
  • Label the container with the date and contents, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat the pie, remove the wrap and place it on a baking sheet. Cover the pie with foil and heat it in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is hot and the crust is crispy.

Alternatively, you can microwave individual slices of the pie, covered with a damp paper towel, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through.
