I am a huge fan of comfort food like chicken pot pie, and Mashed Potatoes, but frankly, I don’t make it that often because it is such a process. I pulled out my Instant Pot and got to work on creating this Instant Pot Chicken PotPie Casserole that gives you the same flavor as a traditional pot pie, but without the pie crust, all the work, and less time cooking it.
Having an instant pot casserole recipe like this one, that can be whipped up in minutes versus hours to the traditional pot pie is a huge win for our household. I love having home-cooked meals for my family, but I don’t always have the time.

Can I Use Frozen Vegetables In Instant Pot Recipes?
I use frozen veggies so there is no prep work of cutting them up, and they cook to the perfect consistency. Then pair with chunks of chicken, egg noodles, and a creamy sauce that brings the dish to a finish. Making Chicken Pot Pie in the middle of the summer without heating up your house sounds insane.
Is There Canned Soup in Chicken Potpie Casserole
No. I do not use any canned soups for this recipe. Using a Pressure Cooker Or an Instant Pot there is many Easy Instant Pot Chicken Breast Dishes you can make like General Tso’s Chicken or Instant Pot chicken Carbonara. Instant Pot Chicken Dishes can be made with frozen chicken or thawed with no time change.
Can I Use Pre-Cooked Chicken For This Instant Pot Casserole
Absolutely! Pre-cooked and shredded, or you could even make it an even faster recipe and buy a rotisserie chicken! Plus the rotisserie chicken will add a bit more flavor to the dish if it has any seasonings on it. I know some people love using up any leftover chicken they bought for a meal this way.
So use frozen chicken that you batch cooked or rotisserie chicken. Both work great and it saves you one extra step in the process of making this casserole.
