how long to bake chicken pot pie
The baking time for a chicken pot pie can vary depending on the size of the pie, the type of crust, and the temperature of your oven. Here are some general guidelines:
Small to Medium-Sized Pies (6-8 inches in diameter)
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
Large Pies (9-12 inches in diameter)
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
Mini Pies (individual servings)
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
Frozen Pies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
Tips
- Make sure the pie crust is thawed and at room temperature before baking.
- Brush the crust with egg wash or melted butter before baking to give it a golden brown color.
- If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil or a pie shield to prevent over-browning.
- Let the pie rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Remember, these are just general guidelines, and the baking time may vary depending on your specific oven and pie. Always check the pie for doneness by inserting a knife or fork into the filling; if it’s hot and the crust is golden brown, it’s ready to serve!
