This pot pie is a great meal to make with store bought rotisserie chicken or you can cook your own chicken with this Air Fryer Roast Chicken recipe, this Roast Chicken or even this recipe for Easy Crock Pot Chicken!
Do I have to use Instant Mashed Potatoes with this recipe?
You don’t have to use instant mashed potatoes for this recipe but it makes it a lot easier and faster if you do. You could use homemade Creamy Mashed Potatoes to layer this pot pie instead.
I don’t like canned mushroom soup! What can I use?
No problem! I know a lot of people aren’t crazy about using store bought cream of mushroom soup for recipes. If that is the case, I have a Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe for you on my other blog.

How to make Mashed Potato Bottom Chicken Pot Pie:
-
Preheat oven to 350F.
-
Spread mashed potatoes over bottom of baking dish. (I used a 9×9)
-
In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, drained canned vegetables and drained peas.
-
Mix in cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt and pepper.
-
Stir until combined. Season to taste.
-
Spread chicken pot pie mixture into dish on top of mashed potatoes.
-
After spreading chicken pot pie mixture into a single layer, place into preheated oven for 15 minutes.
-
Quarter raw biscuits.
-
Once 15 minutes is up, place biscuits on top of chicken pot pie.
-
Bake for 15 minutes or until biscuits are cooked and browned on top.
-
Let pot pie cool for 10 or so minutes to slightly thicken.

Make sure not to over crowd the raw biscuits, if you do that the biscuits may not cook through the middles. You want to make sure they cook, leaving the bottoms soft but the middle of the biscuit cooked and the tops browned.
