This homemade chicken pot pie with crescent rolls recipe is a one pot dish when made in a cast iron skillet.
It is rich, filling and delicious!
Best of all, it is really easy to make.
Plan The Homemade Chicken Pot Pie With Crescent Rolls Meal Ahead Of Time
To get the most mileage for your food dollars, it is best to plan this homemade chicken pot pie with crescent rolls recipe ahead of time.
The next time you cook a whole chicken, instead of tossing the bones and whatever meat is left on them, set those aside in the refrigerator.
Plan to turn the bones into bone broth and while that process is happening, the chicken left on the bones will fall off on its own.
Then all you have to do is strain the broth through cheesecloth, pick out the meat and toss the bones - or reuse them to make a second batch of broth.
Both the broth and the meat can then be used in this recipe.
Plus you should still have enough bone broth left to either freeze or use in your cooking throughout the upcoming week.
Bone broth also makes great lunches on its own!
Oh and by starting with frozen vegetables plus crescent rolls you save time because you don't have to prepare the vegetables or make the crust from scratch!
Here is my recipe for the homemade chicken pot pie with crescent rolls.

Final Thoughts About The Homemade Chicken Pot Pie With Crescent Rolls
I love using crescent rolls in recipes because they make a light fluffy crust that is delicious.
It paired really well with the richness of the chicken pot pie filling.
I also felt using bone broth made it taste better than when I have used store bought broth to make this recipe with.
