Marie Callender’s Chicken pot pie in air fryer

This is one of those indulgences we all agree on getting whenever we go grocery shopping at Costco’s. It’s an filling meal to have as soon as we get back from the store while we prepare for dinner.

These get ready in 5 to 6 minutes in the microwave if you are super hungry but if you are looking to enjoy some nice flakey crust, the air fryer is the way forward. It may take a longer time in the air fryer than in the microwave but it takes way less time than in that oven.

The Marie Callender’s we cook comes in 8oz sizes and takes approximately 25 mins to cook in the air fryer.

Storage instructions

I won’t recommend reheating these and storing for later. It’s best you reheat the amount you need at each time and serve immediately.

Air frying Tips

• Air fryer temperatures may vary depending on size, make and model. When making a recipe for the first time, start with less time, check for doneness then add more time as needed.
• Cover top of pot pie with foil to prevent the crust from over cooking before the inside gets the chance to heat up.
• If you want to speed things up you can pop these in the microwave for 5 mins and then crisp up the crust in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• When it’s frozen rock solid, it may take up to 5 mins more than stated in the recipe. You can also microwave for 5 mins to defrost a bit before air frying.
• Do you want the bottom crust crispy too? Here’s what to do. Before removing the foil, flip the pot pie over so it’s up side down, let it cook for 3 minutes then flip it back right side up, remove the foil and cook for the 5 mins required to crisp up the top crust.
