Ingredients

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup

How to Make Classic Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your dish gets that perfect bubbly texture.
Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cooked chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the frozen vegetables and mix well. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, letting the veggies thaw.
Pour in the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Stir until combined, making a creamy sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Fold in the cooked pasta gently, ensuring everything is well mixed. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly. Top with shredded cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

How to Serve Classic Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Serve it directly from the oven topped with fresh chopped parsley for a lovely pop of color.
Pair it with a side salad for a complete meal that feels light yet filling.
For a cozy touch, serve with warm, crusty bread to soak up all that creamy goodness.

How to Store Classic Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Store any leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze portions for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, reheat in the microwave or warm on the stove with a splash of chicken broth to bring back its creamy texture.

Tips to Make Classic Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Make sure to cook the pasta al dente; it will continue to cook in the oven.
For added flavor, sauté some onions or garlic before adding the chicken.
If the sauce is too thick, thin it out with more chicken broth or a splash of milk.
Feel free to swap out the mixed veggies with your favorites; bell peppers or broccoli add great texture!
Let the dish sit for a few minutes after baking; it sets up nicely for serving.
