Ingredients for the Large Family Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
You will need certain ingredients to make the Large Family Chicken Pot Pie Casserole. The ingredients list includes:
- Chicken Breast. Shred your chicken breast into small pieces before you use it to make the casserole. You can make chicken in the air fryer or a whole chicken in the instant pot for this recipe.
- Yukon Gold Potatoes. Cut your potatoes down into small cubes so that they will blend well with the other ingredients.
- Frozen Mixed Vegetables. Add frozen mixed vegetables, such as peas and corn, to your casserole.
- Chicken Broth. Use the broth to create a creamy consistency for your chicken, potatoes, and vegetables. Use the broth from the whole chicken in the instant pot.
- Milk. Adding milk will make the broth thicker and enhance the flavor of your casserole.
- All-Purpose Flour. The flour thickens the broth to create a gravy-like texture and taste.
Other ingredients to add to your casserole include olive oil, diced onions, garlic powder, dried thyme leaves, salt, pepper, and all-purpose baking mix.
Storing the Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
Store the casserole in your fridge after you’ve cooked it and eat it as leftovers. When keeping the casserole in the refrigerator, it will keep fresh for 3-4 days.
If you want to store it, you should cover it tightly with aluminum foil or even remove it from the casserole dish and put it in a food storage container with an airtight lid to keep it as fresh as possible. Check out my favorite kitchen tools to stock your kitchen.
Helpful Tips to Know About the Large Family Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
Although this is a chicken casserole dish, you can substitute the chicken for turkey or beef. If you decide to use chopped pieces of beef, consider using beef broth instead of chicken broth to create a beef pot pie.
Although carrots and peas are a top choice and are typically found in pot pies, you can add any frozen vegetable mix that you like most.
Some of the different vegetables that people want to add to pot pies include chopped mushrooms, fennel, and lima beans. You can even add chopped pieces of broccoli and cauliflower to the Large Family Chicken Pot Pie Casserole if you want.
