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.
If you too are obsessed with your pressure cooker and air fryer machine, here are a few resource to start with:
- You can bookmark our Ninja air fryer recipes page, we add to that weekly.
- Here’s an air fryer cooking times chart here for your fridge.
- Be sure to save this link to Instant Pot recipes for beginners too. You can use any of those in your pot too.
- Grab a set of wooden utensils to work with. They are great so your pot doesn’t get scratched!
- Then join our Facebook group where you can share and find more ideas you’ll love. Thousands of others share easy recipe ideas.
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.
Ingredients
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- Chicken broth or stock works too
- Onions diced or sliced
- Carrots peeled and diced
- Celery is expected
- Minced garlic cloves
- Peas, frozen is best
- Flour to thicken gravy
- Milk, whole or 2% is best
- Refrigerated biscuits, ready made pie crust can be used too, make homemade biscuits or use frozen Rhodes rolls, defrosted for 1 hour
If you use your Crockpot Express or making this as an InstaPot recipe you’ll need a CrispLid or baking dish to brown top in the oven.
Well, this is kinda’ a way to make one. You’ll use the pressure cooker function as well though to make the “filling”. Air crisp lid will be used at the end to cook the biscuits or pie crust on the top.
This occurs when the cook time you input has elapsed and it is starting to naturally release the steam. If you want a quick release you’ll need to avoid it from counting up and flip the steam valve when it hits 0.
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.
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 make Ninja Foodi chicken pot pie with 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.
- If you’re going to make chicken soup and skip the carbs then you’ll stop at this step.
- Yes you’ll still take the protein out, dice it up and put it back in with the vegetables.
- Add the milk and thicken with some flour but the biscuits can be left off.
Just ladle it out into bowls and enjoy.
BUT if you want the whole shebang, then keep going and add that extra layer on the top. That is where the Foodi comes in handy. You 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.

Great quick meal! I just used frozen mixed veggies. Would definitely make again
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?
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.
