I love using my air fryer for recipes I would traditionally make in the oven. Not only does the air fryer use less electricity it also takes a fraction of the time to heat up – making cooking faster and more cost efficient. We love this air fryer pot pie recipe because it comes together so quickly (using rotisserie chicken is my favorite hack) and delivers a super comforting, warm dinner. For an even quicker shortcut, use frozen pot pies!
Ingredients and Substitutions
Rotisserie chicken. I always turn to a rotisserie chicken when I make a chicken pot pie. Half of the work has been done for me! You can use cooked chicken breast meat too. Bechamel sauce. Substitute with a can of cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup. Vegetables: I used onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Mushrooms, broccoli, potatoes, peas, frozen mixed vegetables etc. can all be added. Spices: I used dried thyme, salt and black pepper. Oregano, rosemary, sage, parsley, garlic powder can all be added. Puff pastry. Use any pie crust of your choice. Biscuit dough is also a great option. Egg.

Can I make this ahead?
Yes! This pot pie is a great prep-ahead dish. Assemble the pie all the way up to cooking then cover with foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge overnight before cooking. Any leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
