    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.

    What you need for air fryer pot pie

    This pot pie air fryer recipe is so easy you seriously only need one ingredient! Check the recipe card for optional ingredients!

    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.

    Expert tips and FAQs

    How do you make an air fry pie?

    Not only can you cook a frozen pot pie in the air fryer but you can also reheat a pot pie or even cook an apple pie in the air fryer! The air fryer works great on the puff pastry crust which is in all pies.

    Can you put paper towel in air fryer?

    No, it’s not a good idea to put a paper towel or plastic wrap in the air fryer oven although you can put aluminum foil or parchment paper in the air fryer.

    How do you reheat leftover chicken pot pie?

    For an easy meal you can reheat creamy chicken pot pie in the air fryer at 350 degrees f for 8 minutes. Melt butter on top before serving for extra flavor!

    What side dishes go with meat pot pies?

    Since as air fryer frozen chicken pot pie is a bit hearty, my favorite way to serve it is with vegetables or something a little lighter like instant pot carrots or a red cabbage salad with bacon. Although the size of the pot pies might vary and you may not need a side!
