Homemade Chicken Pot Pie In Air Fryer Recipe Faqs
Can I use raw chicken instead of cooked chicken? It’s best to use cooked chicken for this recipe to ensure it cooks evenly. You can use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or quickly cook some chicken breasts before starting the recipe.
How do I prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy? Avoid overfilling the pie to prevent excess liquid.
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of Pillsbury Grand Biscuits? Yes, you can use homemade biscuit dough. Ensure the dough is rolled out evenly and cut to fit the top of the pot pie.
4. What temperature and time settings should I use? Use the air fryer temperature of 350°F (175°C) and cook the assembled pot pie for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Can I add other vegetables to the filling? Absolutely! Feel free to add other vegetables like diced potatoes, mushrooms, or peas to the filling. Just ensure they are cut into small, even pieces for uniform cooking.
Do I need to use any special dishes for the air fryer? Use an air fryer-safe baking dish or ramekin that fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket. Ensure it’s not too deep to allow even cooking.
How to reheat chicken pot pie in air fryer: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until heated through.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the pot pie in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, place it in the preheated air fryer and adjust the cooking time as needed.
Can I use puff pastry instead of biscuits? Yes, you can use puff pastry for a different texture. Cut the puff pastry to fit your baking dish and follow the same cooking instructions, keeping an eye on the pastry to avoid over-browning.
What if I don’t have cream of chicken soup? You can make a quick homemade version by combining a roux (butter and flour) with chicken broth and milk, cooking until thickened. Alternatively, use cream of mushroom or celery soup as a substitute.
