Crescent Roll Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients
Here are the basics. You’ll find full amounts in the printable recipe card below.
- Cooked chicken — Use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken
- Can of crescent rolls — original crescent rolls
- Cream of chicken soup
- Sour cream — adds a light tangy flavor and helps thin out the soup
- Frozen vegetables — green beans, peas and carrots, corn or mixed vegetables work best. You can use fresh vegetables if you want.
- Seasoning – salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
- Shredded cheddar cheese — or cheddar cheese blend
How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Casserole with Crescent Rolls
First, grease a casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Then, add your cooked chicken to a large bowl and season it with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
Add a can of cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Then, add the veggies and mix vegetables into the mixture. Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Now, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on top of chicken mixture. I use cheddar cheese or Colby Jack or a blend of different cheeses. But you can use your favorite cheese here.
Next, carefully open the crescent dough, and unroll it so that it’s a rectangle. Place the dough sheet on top of the filling, and carefully stretch it to fit. You can brush an egg wash on the dough if you like.
The casserole takes just 20 minutes or so to bake. Total cooking time will depend upon your oven. When it’s done, the crust is golden brown, and the cheesy chicken filling is hot and bubbling.
Tips for Making Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
If you want one less dish to wash, you can mix everything together in the baking dish!
To avoid a soggy crust, leave the perforations open a bit to allow venting. You can pinch center edges together if you like. You can also roll out the dough, but leave a few holes for venting.
Use a 13×9 inch pan or a smaller 2 quart casserole dish. If you want a creamier casserole, you can use 2 cans of cream soup.
I like to let this easy pot pie casserole sit for a few minutes to let the filling set. After that, you can go right ahead and dig in.
Variations
It’s simple to change up this easy chicken casserole. Use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving instead of chicken.
Or use a can of tuna for an easy tuna pot pie casserole!
Use puff pastry instead of crescent dough, but be aware that the cook time may change.
You can use a can of biscuit dough, like Grands, instead of crescent roll dough. Just place the biscuits on top of the filling, and bake.
If you’re using leftover roast chicken add your favorite spices, to taste, as it may not need any extra seasoning.
You can sub another can of cream soup for the sour cream.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
Cover and keep the leftover chicken pot pie in the refrigerator. Use the baking dish or transfer to an airtight container. It should keep for 3 to 4 days.
For longer storage, store in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheat the chicken pie in individual servings in the microwave. Or, bake the casserole in the oven at 300 degrees f until hot.

Good but salty think it was cream
soup I usually make my own mixture with flour
Made this today. Mixed cheese in because I missed it on the instructions but it didn’t matter. Used gluten free panko on top since I’m unable to eat that flaky goodness. It was delicious! Could use stuffing, biscuit mix or other items. The filling is just good.
Thank you so much, Miriam! I’m glad you liked the recipe!
Oh boy, you’ve got yet another winner!! I frequently use your instant pot “honey mustard curry chicken” both at home and for the church meal ministry, when members are ill or have a new baby. It is well received.
I had never, that I can recall, made chicken pot pie. I looked at several. Yours won bc I like crescent roll and I liked the idea of using that as crust. I halved the recipe bc I live alone and only feed myself (if I don’t have a church member needing food!). Worked out fine. I found a rotisserie chicken MARKED DOWN TO $2 at a local grocery. So the stars aligned and I made it (halved). Really enjoyed it.
When I feel more comfortable with the recipe I will use it for meal ministry as well. Thank You and Happy New Year!!
Thank you for the sweet compliment! I’m so glad you are enjoying the recipes here. Happy New Year to you! 🙂
