Let me tell you about my secret weapon for those crazy weeknights when everyone’s starving and I’ve got zero time – this Ninja Foodi chicken pot pie recipe. I stumbled onto this trick one desperate evening when my kids were bouncing off the walls and my husband texted he was bringing home unexpected guests. Thirty minutes flat – that’s all it takes from fridge to table! The magic happens when you combine that flaky, golden crust (thank you, air crisp function!) with the creamy chicken filling that bubbles up just right. Trust me, I’ve made this so many times now that my family actually requests it more than my old oven-baked version. It’s become our go-to comfort food that feels homemade without the fuss – and no one needs to know how ridiculously easy it is to make!

Why You’ll Love This Ninja Foodi Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

This recipe is a total game-changer for busy home cooks like us, and here’s why:

  • Faster than takeout – Ready in 30 minutes flat, even on your craziest weeknights
  • Minimal ingredients – Just 7 simple staples you probably have right now
  • That perfect crispy crust – The Ninja Foodi’s air crisp gives bakery-quality flakiness without the oven
  • One-pot wonder – Mix, cook and serve all in the same pot (hello, easy cleanup!)
  • Kid-approved magic – My picky eaters gobble this up every single time

Ingredients for Ninja Foodi Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Here’s the beautiful simplicity of this recipe – just seven easy ingredients you likely have in your pantry right now. I always keep these on hand for last-minute dinners:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced (I grab a rotisserie chicken when I’m really in a hurry)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables – the classic peas-and-carrots blend works perfectly
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup – the secret to that luscious, creamy filling
  • 1/2 cup milk – whole milk gives the richest texture
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt – just enough to make all the flavors pop
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper – freshly cracked if you’ve got it
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust – the convenience superstar of this recipe

See? Nothing fancy – just good, honest ingredients that come together like magic in your Ninja Foodi. Now let’s make some pot pie magic!

How to Make Ninja Foodi Chicken Pot Pie

Okay, let’s get down to the fun part – making this ridiculously easy chicken pot pie! I’ve made this so many times I could do it in my sleep, but I’ll walk you through each step so yours turns out perfect on the first try.

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

First things first – turn that Ninja Foodi on! Set it to the air crisp function at 350°F and let it preheat while you mix the filling. This little wait time is perfect for tossing everything together in a big bowl – the chicken, frozen veggies (no need to thaw!), soup, milk, salt and pepper. Give it a good stir until it’s all creamy and combined. Pro tip: I like to taste it now and adjust the seasoning – sometimes I’ll add an extra pinch of salt or pepper if it needs it.

Step 2: Assemble the Pie

Now for the crust magic! Unroll one pie crust and gently press it into the bottom of your Ninja Foodi pot – don’t worry if it’s not perfect, mine never is! Pour that luscious chicken mixture right on top. For the top crust, you’ve got options: place a whole second crust (poke some holes for steam), or get fancy cutting strips for a lattice top like my grandma used to make. Either way works great!

Step 3: Air Crisp to Perfection

Here comes the best part – slide that pot into your preheated Ninja Foodi and let the air crisp work its magic for about 20 minutes. About halfway through, I always peek to make sure the edges aren’t browning too fast. When it’s done, you’ll know – that crust turns this gorgeous golden brown that makes everyone come running to the kitchen. Let it cool for just 5 minutes (if you can wait that long!) before digging in.

Tips for the Best Ninja Foodi Chicken Pot Pie

Over my many (many!) test runs of this recipe, I’ve picked up some game-changing tricks that’ll take your pot pie from good to “Oh my gosh, can I have the recipe?” good:

  • Rotisserie chicken is your friend – Saves so much time and adds amazing flavor
  • Fresh herbs make all the difference – Toss in some thyme or rosemary with the filling
  • Check that crust at 15 minutes – Every Ninja Foodi runs a bit different, so peek early
  • Let it rest – Those 5 minutes waiting time? Crucial for the filling to set perfectly
  • Crust too pale? – Brush with egg wash for that beautiful golden shine

These little touches make my family think I spent hours in the kitchen – our little secret!

Ingredient Substitutions and Notes

Listen, I know we all have those days when we’re missing an ingredient or need to tweak things – here’s how to keep this recipe working for you:

  • Fresh veggies work too – Swap frozen for 1 cup diced carrots, peas, and celery (just sauté them first)
  • Homemade crust lovers – Use your favorite recipe instead of refrigerated (but seriously, no judgement here!)
  • Dairy-free? Coconut milk and cream of mushroom soup make a great alternative
  • Leftover turkey makes a fantastic post-Thanksgiving version
  • No cream soup? Mix 1 cup chicken broth with 1/4 cup flour as a thickener

The beauty of this recipe is how forgiving it is – make it your own!

Serving Suggestions for Ninja Foodi Chicken Pot Pie

This pot pie stands deliciously on its own, but here’s how I love to serve it for different occasions:

  • Weeknight dinner: Pair with a simple green salad – the crisp greens cut through the rich filling perfectly
  • Comfort food feast: Add a scoop of creamy mashed potatoes (yes, carbs on carbs – totally worth it!)
  • Brunch twist: Serve with fresh fruit for a sweet-savory combo my kids adore

Honestly? We usually just dig right in with forks – it’s that good!

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

Now, I know leftovers are rare with this pot pie (my family usually demolishes it!), but if you’re lucky enough to have some, here’s how to keep it tasting fresh: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. When reheating, skip the microwave – it’ll make the crust soggy! Instead, pop it back in the Ninja Foodi at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until heated through. The air crisp will bring that crust right back to life, almost like it’s fresh from the oven!

Ninja Foodi Chicken Pot Pie Recipe FAQs

After sharing this recipe with so many friends, I’ve gotten all kinds of questions – here are the ones that come up most often with my tried-and-true answers:

Q: Can I use homemade cream of chicken soup?
Absolutely! I make mine with 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup milk, and 3 tablespoons flour cooked until thick. Just keep the same measurements as the canned version.

Q: How do I prevent a soggy bottom crust?
My trick? Give the bottom crust a 5-minute head start in the Ninja Foodi before adding the filling – just air crisp it alone at 350°F first.

Q: Can I make this vegetarian?
You bet! Swap the chicken for mushrooms and use cream of celery soup. I’ve done this for my vegetarian sister-in-law and she loved it.

Q: Why is my crust browning too fast?
If the edges get too dark, tent them with foil strips. Every Ninja Foodi runs a bit different, so keep an eye on it after 15 minutes.

Q: Can I freeze leftovers?
For sure! Wrap slices tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat straight from frozen in the Ninja Foodi at 325°F for about 10 minutes.
