Ingredients
1 Banquet Chicken Pot Pie (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Cracked black pepper for extra flavor
Grated Parmesan cheese for a cheesy finish
Hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicy twist
Chopped fresh parsley for a fresh garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the crust gets golden and crisp while evenly heating the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Pot Pie
Remove the pot pie from the box but keep it in its aluminum foil tray.
Lightly cover the top with foil to prevent the crust from burning before the filling is fully heated.
Step 3: Air Fry the Chicken Pot Pie
First Round: Cook at 360°F for 25 minutes with foil on top.
Second Round: Remove the foil and cook for another 5-8 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Check for Doneness: The filling should be hot and bubbling. If needed, cook for an additional 3-5 minutes at 375°F.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the pot pie from the air fryer (it will be very hot).
Let it rest for 5 minutes before eating to allow the filling to thicken.
Serve immediately with black pepper, Parmesan, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
How to Serve This Chicken Pot Pie
Classic Comfort Meal: Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
Cheesy Upgrade: Top with grated Parmesan or shredded cheddar.
Savory Twist: Sprinkle with garlic powder or Italian seasoning.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Cover with foil for the first 25 minutes to prevent the crust from burning.
Let it rest for 5 minutes before eating to avoid burning your mouth and to allow the filling to thicken.
Want extra crispy crust? Cook for the last 2 minutes at 400°F for a deep golden brown top.
Check for doneness by piercing the center—the filling should be bubbling and hot.
