Frozen pot pie crust and frozen pot pies are extremely convenient when you’re rushed for time. Pop a frozen pot pie in the air fryer and you’ll have a filling, satisfying meal ready in under 20 minutes.

Air fryer recipes are a total life saver in my house! I love making air fryer sausage patties and frozen hash browns in the air fryer for a quick and easy breakfast. It’s also great for reheating things that you want a little crispy like gluten-free french toast bites.

Sometimes my family and I like to make a homemade gluten-free chicken pot pie recipe with leftover rotisserie chicken. But, you can’t make a homemade pot pie in under 20 minutes like this recipe.

Another thing I love about this recipe is that it’s an individual air fryer pot pie. This easy recipe only makes one serving which is much easier than having tons of leftovers.

Frozen pot pie

A frozen individual pot pie is all you need for this recipe. We like to use a gluten-free pot pie but Marie Callendar’s pot pie and a Banquet pot pie are known to be delicious as well. You can also use a frozen turkey pot pie or beef pot pie if chicken isn’t your thing.

How long do you cook a pie in an air fryer?

Cooking an air fryer chicken pot pie takes much less time than cooking a pot pie in the oven or microwave. The air fryer is the best way to cook a frozen veggie pot pie or any pot pie!

The cook times are going to vary depending on what frozen pie you’re using, but generally around 15 minutes is enough time in the high heat. When the top of the pot pie is golden brown, you know it’s done.

Pro tip: Keep your pot pie in a closed air fryer basket to preserve heat until you’re ready to serve.
