Big On Flavor, Low On Fuss! If you love homemade chicken pot pie as much as I do but tend to avoid it because it feels like too much work, puff pastry is the genius, weeknight-friendly shortcut you’ve gotta try.♡ I absolutely adore pot pie and have made plenty of versions over the years.But once I started using puff pastry as a topping instead of traditional pie dough, I never looked back.

It bakes up perfectly flaky and buttery, looks so pretty, and delivers all of those nostalgic pot pie vibes with a fraction of the work.Plus, cutting it into pieces and layering it on top means more golden edges and crispy bits in every scoop — so good! I also have a bit of a soapbox about bland, boring pot pie filling, and I promise this one is anything but.The creamy sauce is layered with flavor from crispy bacon, Parmesan, plenty of garlic, and fresh herbs, then loaded up with classic veggies and tender chicken.

If you’d like to make things even easier, I highly recommend shredding a rotisserie chicken to cut down on prep time.I also love making the filling earlier in the day — or even the day before — then stashing it in the fridge and adding the puff pastry right before baking on busy nights.It’s one of my favorite comfort food recipes that never disappoints!
