Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this Easy Creamy Chicken Pot Pie ahead of time? Yes! You can assemble the skillet (up to step 5) and keep it covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just add 5-10 minutes to the baking time when you are ready to serve.

What is the best way to reheat leftovers? Reheat in the oven at 350°F to maintain the texture. If using a microwave, add a splash of milk to bring back that creamy consistency.

Do I have to use an oven-safe skillet? If you don't have one, simply prepare the sauce and mix in a standard pan, then transfer the mixture to a 9x13 baking dish before putting it in the oven.
