Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or cream cheese to the chicken and vegetable mixture. If you have leftover roasted vegetables, they can be used in place of the frozen mixed vegetables. For a twist, try substituting the chicken with diced ham or using a different flavor of Stove Top stuffing, such as cornbread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chicken pot pie hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color. It pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. For a comforting side dish, try serving it alongside Easy Ala King Biscuit Casserole for a delicious combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the pot pie in the oven at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for quick reheating, but this may result in a softer topping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?
Absolutely! Fresh vegetables can add a delightful crunch and flavor. Just be sure to chop them into small, uniform pieces and sauté them briefly before adding them to the casserole to ensure they cook through during baking.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make this chicken pot pie gluten-free, use gluten-free Stove Top stuffing and ensure the cream of chicken soup and margarine are also gluten-free. You can find gluten-free versions of these products at most grocery stores.
Can I freeze the chicken pot pie?
