“Pumpkin” Chicken Pot Pie 🎃🥧

Chicken pot pie is one of the coziest comfort foods, and this version gets a fun fall twist! Instead of a traditional top crust, I used little pumpkin-shaped pie crust cutouts to create the cutest seasonal pot pie.

It’s warm, creamy, hearty, and perfect for a cozy fall dinner or just a cozy comfort meal.

Ingredients

For the Filling

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 can diced potatoes, drained
• ¼ cup diced onion
• ¼ cup diced celery
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Seasoning blend: onion powder, parsley, celery flakes, celery seed, and chives

For the Crust

• 2 packages/rolls pie crust
• 1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, drained potatoes, diced celery, and diced onion.
2. Add the cream of chicken soup, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and your seasoning blend. Mix everything together thoroughly.
3. Prepare the bottom crust: Roll one pie crust into your pie dish, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides. Pinch the edges around the rim of the dish.
4. Add the filling: Pour the chicken mixture into the pie crust and spread it evenly.
5. Make the pumpkin crust: Roll out the second pie crust on a lightly floured surface or, like I did, on parchment paper. Using a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter, cut out several pumpkin shapes.
6. Carefully arrange the pumpkin-shaped pieces over the top of the pie. Depending on the size of your cookie cutter, you may be able to fit more or fewer pumpkins. I was able to fit four!
7. Brush with butter: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and gently brush it over the pumpkin cutouts and the edges of the crust.
8. Bake: Place the pot pie in a 350°F oven and bake for 45–60 minutes, depending on your oven and how golden you prefer your crust. Check in on it every 15 minutes after the 30 minute mark.
9. Allow it to cool slightly, then serve and enjoy your cozy pumpkin pot pie! 🎃🍗🥧
