Trader Joe’s Chicken Pot Pie (Easy 3-Ingredient Recipe)

This easy Trader Joe’s chicken pot pie uses just three main ingredients: broccoli cheddar soup, cooked chicken, and refrigerated biscuits. Inspired by the viral Trader Joe’s shortcut, it brings together a creamy chicken filling and a golden biscuit topping without making pie crust from scratch.

Everything comes together in one baking dish for a simple, comforting dinner with minimal prep.

Ingredients for Trader Joe’s Chicken Pot Pie

You only need three main ingredients to make this Trader Joe’s chicken pot pie:

  • Trader Joe’s Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup (2 × 20 oz containers): Creates the creamy filling without making a separate sauce.
  • Trader Joe’s Seasoned and Shredded Rotisserie Chicken (16 oz): Fully cooked, shredded chicken makes preparation quick and easy.
  • Trader Joe’s Organic Biscuits (16 oz, 8 biscuits): These refrigerated biscuits form the topping. Keep all 8 biscuits whole before arranging them over the filling.
  • Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons, optional): Brush over the biscuits before baking for extra color and flavor.

How to Make Trader Joe’s Chicken Pot Pie

Step 1: Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a deep 9-inch pie dish or an 8 × 8-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Mix the filling. Pour both containers of broccoli cheddar soup into the prepared dish. Add the cooked, shredded chicken and stir until evenly distributed.

Step 3: Prepare the biscuits. Open the package and separate the 8 refrigerated biscuits. Keep them whole.

Step 4: Add the biscuit topping. Arrange the 8 whole biscuits over the chicken mixture in a single layer, leaving small gaps between them. Brush with melted butter if using.

Step 5: Bake. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for approximately 35–40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through and the filling reaches 165°F (74°C). Check the centers and undersides of the biscuits for raw dough. If the tops brown too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil and continue baking until done.

Step 6: Rest and serve. Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Trader Joe’s Chicken Pot Pie

  • Check the underside of the biscuits. Golden tops don’t always mean the dough underneath is fully cooked. Check a biscuit near the center before removing the dish from the oven.
  • Watch the browning. If the biscuits turn golden before they are cooked through, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil and continue baking.
  • Let it rest before serving. Allow the pot pie to rest for about 5 minutes so the bubbling filling can settle.

How to Store and Reheat Trader Joe’s Chicken Pot Pie

Refrigerate: Transfer leftovers to shallow, airtight containers and refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.

Reheat: Place a portion in an oven-safe dish and cover loosely with foil to prevent the biscuits from browning too much. Reheat in a 350°F oven until the filling reaches 165°F in the center. The biscuits may be softer than when freshly baked.

According to FoodSafety.gov’s safe temperature guidelines, chicken casseroles and reheated leftovers should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Freeze: You can freeze leftovers in freezer-safe containers, although the biscuit topping may become softer after thawing. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the viral Trader Joe’s chicken pot pie?

It’s an easy, three-ingredient chicken pot pie made with Trader Joe’s Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup, cooked shredded chicken, and refrigerated biscuits. The soup and chicken form the creamy filling, while the biscuits bake on top.

Why are my biscuits still doughy underneath?

The moist filling can keep the bottoms of whole biscuits soft even after the tops turn golden. Check a biscuit near the center to make sure the dough is fully cooked. If the biscuit tops brown too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil and continue baking until the centers and undersides are done.

Can I use regular rotisserie chicken instead of Trader Joe’s shredded chicken?

Yes. Use 16 ounces of fully cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken in place of the packaged Trader Joe’s chicken. Keep the other ingredients and quantities the same.

Can I prepare Trader Joe’s chicken pot pie ahead of time?

You can mix the soup and cooked chicken up to one day ahead and keep the filling covered in the refrigerator. Add the refrigerated biscuits just before baking. Because the filling starts cold, it may need additional baking time; check that the filling reaches 165°F and the biscuits are fully cooked.
