Air Fryer Chicken Pot Pies
Skip the oven! Air fryer chicken pot pies are as easy as they are delicious — with tender chicken and vegetables in a creamy sauce and flaky crust.
Air Fryer Mini Chicken Pot Pies
Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food, but its traditional cooking method requires a lot of work and a number of pots and pans to prepare. Not to mention you have to heat up the big oven! And during the summertime in Texas, that just isn’t an appealing proposition!
Air Fryer to the rescue!!
These mini chicken pot pies taste like they were made from scratch…and they mostly are! We used canned biscuit dough as a shortcut, but when cooked til golden brown it tastes just like a legit pie crust!
Since we also used pre-cooked chicken and frozen veggies, you can get this dish on the table in about 30-40 minutes. Compare that to the couple hours it might take to make an old-fashioned pot pie!
If you’re looking for quick and easy ideas for weeknight dinners, this one is a keeper!
Ingredients
- 8 jumbo biscuits (flaky style)
- 3 cups chicken — already cooked and diced
- 1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables — We used a 12oz bag containing peas, green beans, carrots, and corn
- 1 1/2 cups condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste

- 8 quart Air Fryer
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Silicone Muffin Cups / Cupcake Liners
Instructions
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
To Prep: Coat each of your silicone muffin liners with non-stick spray.
- Add the chicken, vegetables, cream of chicken and spices together to a large bowl. Stir to toss until the chicken and vegetables are completely coated in the soup mixture.
- Open the biscuits and separate each one into halves — with one “half” being 3/4 of the biscuit and the other “half” being 1/4 of the biscuit. Take the larger half and mold to fit the inside of the muffin liners. Air fry for 5 minutes at 300 degrees, then remove and scoop the filling into each one so they are mostly full, with a mound in the center.
- Take the smaller half of each biscuit and place on top of each pot pie. Pinch the edges to seal the top to the sides of the pot pie. Make 4 small punctures in the top of each pie to allow steam to vent.
- Place the pies back in the air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes at at 300°F, or until the crust is cooked through.
Prep Tips
- For an extra crispy crust, preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes before cooking. You can also paint the tops with melted butter before cooking for that golden crust.
- Depending on the size of your basket and the closeness of the heating element, you may want to rotate the pies once while baking to avoid burning the tops.
- If the crust seems like it is cooking much more quickly than the filling, try wrapping the pies with foil to protect the tops.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Use Rotisserie Chicken?
Sure! You’re welcome to use any type of chicken, so long as it is already cooked before you put it into the filling. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken too! While pot pies are often made with chicken breast, you are fine to use both dark and light meat.
Can You Use Another Type of Protein?
Yes, you can swap out the chicken for another kind of meat if you like, such as a beef pot pie. Again, all you have to do is make sure that the meat is pre-cooked.
Can You Air Fry a Frozen Pot Pie?
If you’re looking to save even more time, you might be wondering if you can just pop pre-made frozen chicken pot pies into your air fryer and call it a day. It’s hard to beat homemade, but Marie Callender pies are pretty good!
Yes, you CAN cook frozen pot pies in an air fryer — place your pot pie(s) in the basket and cook for about 20 minutes at 400°F. Depending on the size of your pies, they may take a little more or less time, so keep an eye on them.
