Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie with Cauliflower Crust
What it is
This is a frozen meal featuring a savory chicken and vegetable filling encased in a unique cauliflower-based crust. The filling typically includes tender pieces of chicken, peas, carrots, and potatoes in a creamy sauce. The cauliflower crust offers a lighter alternative to traditional pastry, providing a distinct texture and flavor profile that complements the hearty filling. It is designed for convenient home preparation.
How people cook with it
This pot pie is a convenient option for a quick and satisfying meal. It can be enjoyed on its own or served as part of a larger dinner.
- Weeknight dinner
- Comfort food

- Easy supper
To prepare, remove the pot pie from its packaging. Place it on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack, depending on the specific instructions. Bake in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot. The exact baking time and temperature will vary, so it is important to follow the directions on the package for best results. Allow it to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns from the hot filling.
How it differs from similar foods
The primary difference from a traditional chicken pot pie is the crust. Instead of a flaky pastry made from flour and butter, this version uses a crust made with cauliflower. This results in a different texture, often denser and with a subtle vegetable flavor, and can be a choice for those seeking a different approach to classic comfort food.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Keep this pot pie frozen until ready to cook. Once prepared, any leftovers should be refrigerated promptly and consumed within a few days. It is not recommended to refreeze a cooked pot pie.
