The Filling
This is the best frozen chicken pot pie I’ve ever had. The chicken is tender and flavorful and well coated in a thick and creamy sauce. It has the taste and texture of real white meat chicken, unlike what you can sometimes get in frozen dinners.
It does tend to be a bit salty, which wasn’t a problem for us. But keep this in mind if you have a different palate.
The veggies are tender, and the mushrooms add savoriness. I like that there are no potatoes. Frozen pot pies with potatoes tend to end up being hard and bland.
I appreciate the good amount of chicken, especially at this price point. You get some in every forkful.
The Crust
We loved the flaky buttery crust. It is like a sheet of puff pastry was just laid on top; there is no fluted pie crust. However, be aware that crust is only on the top, not the bottom. Does this make it not “really” a pot pie? Maybe, but we still like this better than other double-crusted ones on the market.
Pro Tip
Cook in the oven for best results. The package contains directions for both. We know this isn’t always possible if you take it to work, but when you have the choice, choose the oven!
Perfect For
Comfort food lovers looking for a tasty frozen meal
Avoid If
You’ve got your heart set on a double crust or don’t like mushrooms.
