How Long to Cook Chicken Pot Pie in Ninja Foodi

I bet you had a meal like this in your childhood. And you can remember whom was with you when you ate it, and maybe the conversations that were had when eating it. It’s a classic. Yes of course you can make frozen pot pie in air fryer too if you want something really quick but this is more homemade.

It will take about 25 minutes. You will use the pressure cook and air crisp buttons to make this whole pot of deliciousness happen. You decide for yourself if you want more of a biscuits and gravy sticky top or to bake frozen biscuits in air fryer basket separately.

Like I said, you can totally omit the bread portion and enjoy some soup without it right out of the pot that way as well. We have done that several times and either served easy roll recipe or the side or not at all.

Why do they call it a pot pie?

Originally it was created on a ship as an easy way to use up leftover chicken. Adding vegetables and liquid into the mix and baking it inside pie crusts made it a “new meal” that everyone loved.

Which lid do I use to cook chicken pot pie in my Ninja Foodi?

If you are making our deconstructed recipe here you will use both, one at a time. The one that is attached will only be used to brown the biscuit dough on the top after the filling is done cooking with the lid that isn’t attached.

Can you use rotisserie chicken?

Yes!! You can shred that or make as a leftover chicken breast recipe too. I would use the same timing but you could take off a few minutes if you really wanted to for the cooking process. Since it is in a thick sauce it just will continue getting more tender so I wouldn’t worry about that aspect.

Of course you could use other proteins too, especially after Thanksgiving. We love an easy leftover turkey pot pie as well. Use what you have I always say!

Can you make chicken pot pie with frozen chicken?

With a pressure cooker you can because they are just that amazing. To be able to cook chicken breasts from raw to so tender that it falls apart with a fork in 12 minutes has been a game changer for us. Better yet, being able to cook frozen chicken in Instant Pot takes it even a step further. It actually won’t change the cook time as long as they are medium and broken apart.

Let’s be honest, I can be kinda’ forgetful and with this kitchen hack I can always have a homemade dinner on the table each night.

What kind of biscuits can you use?

I have used it all from refrigerated biscuits to homemade biscuits or you can totally use frozen rolls, defrosted for 1 hourYou can air fry or bake / broil the crust and not transfer it to another dish. NO oven or broiling necessary with this pot. Let’s face it, who wants more dishes to wash anyway?? Do all the chopping and prepping, then you can throw it all in and go.

Instructions 

  • Add first 10 ingredients into your pressure cooker. Close lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for 12 minutes followed by a quick release.
  • Remove chicken and cut/dice on a cutting board.
  • Turn pot to saute and bring contents to a boil. Whisk in 1/4 c. flour until smooth and contents begin to thicken. Then add milk and chopped chicken.
  • Allow to boil again, stirring for about 5 min. so sauce can continue to thicken. If using an Instant Pot, transfer this chicken filling to a prepared baking dish (spray with non stick spray).
  • If using a Ninja Foodi leave filling inside pot and turn saute function off. For Instant Pot preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Put biscuits evenly across the top of your chicken filling. Or lay refrigerated pie crust piece across the top
  • In Foodi, close air crisp lid and select 360 degrees for 8 minutes for biscuits, flip each one over after 4 minutes. For pie crust select broil for 9 minutes.
  • If using Instant Pot, transfer mix to a baking dish. Lay biscuits on top. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes or until biscuits have browned and cooked through. Can brush with melted butter on tops when done if desired too.
  • Allow dish to cool for 10 minutes after it is done before serving so it can continue to thicken.

Other Easy Ninja Foodie Recipes You’ll Love

Talk about comfort food in no time. For a traditional but simple chicken pot pie it will take you closer to an hour to prep and bake. With this, cooking is complete quick.

You can really use whatever you have on hand just as you would to make some air fryer vegetables go when you add the broth to the pot. Load it up if you like. Just remember to keep the pieces large. Most veggies are softened in about 3 minutes on high. Ninja Foodi stew using small beef pieces. Our cheesy Ninja Foodi spaghetti is very popular!

  1. Looking forward to making this, but I wanted to use left-over turkey. Would I cut the pressure cooker time down? You always have the best recipes and we love you for them. BTW, is there a trick to reheating something in an oven-proof dish in my Ninja Foodi?

    1. I just made some with leftover turkey, I didn’t PC at all. Just sautéed the ingredients together until the onions softened & carried on per the recipe.
