What to Serve with Chicken Pot Pie

Learn what to serve with chicken pot pie, and all the fantastic side dishes you can choose from to serve a complete meal!

Homemade chicken pot pie is the main dish that works as a complete meal by itself.

However, if you’re serving it at a dinner party you may want to round out your meal with a simple side dish recipe idea.

This post will show you 18 delightful recipes that will make this hearty meal even better.

Chicken Pot Pie with Pie Crust

First, let’s chat about Chicken Pot Pie!

Flaky crust filled and the rich flavors of a savory gravy filled with vegetables, tender chicken, and warm spices… it’s what every classic chicken pot pie is made of.

Last year, I made one on social media, and it went absolutely viral! You can watch it here!

This is my easy chicken pot pie recipe that’s made with frozen vegetables, canned soup mix, and shredded rotisserie chicken. It’s the perfect combination of easy shortcuts to create a comforting meal that quickly becomes the family favorite!

There are plenty of ways to make chicken pot pie. I prefer a double-crusted one, where you bake it in a pie dish and there is a crust on the bottom and the top.

Another way is to fill a casserole dish and just use a top crust. Made of either flaky pie crust or biscuits. Yum!

What’s in a chicken pot pie?

  • Nutrient-rich veggies like carrots, onions, celery, potatoes, corn, etc. Whatever blend of veggies you have on hand or find in the store is perfect!
  • Tender chicken chunks. You could also use leftover Roast Turkey from Thanksgiving!
  • Chicken broth or chicken stock helps create a creamy sauce, that makes this classic dish a great choice.
  • For better flavor add in extra garlic powder and onion powder. I also like the addition of poultry seasoning or sage, making this hearty dish perfect for the autumn weather! It wakes all the creamy vegetables up and gives them a brighter flavor.
  • A buttery crust is one of the undisputed stars of the comfort food arena — it makes any great recipe even better!

Next time you make this classic comfort food as the main course, choose an easy side dish that will make your taste buds dance. A simple salad with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing is always a good choice!

It’s a great idea to serve a simple cranberry sauce on the side if you make your chicken pot pie with turkey! Bring on all those Thanksgiving flavors, right?!
