Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 pie Marie Callender Chicken Pot Pie (frozen) Use directly from the freezer, no need to thaw
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes. This step ensures the pot pie cooks evenly, with a crispy crust and hot filling.
- Prepare the Pot Pie: Remove the pot pie from its packaging. There’s no need to thaw; the pie can go straight from the freezer into the air fryer, saving you time and effort.
- Place in the Air Fryer: Place the pot pie in the center of the air fryer basket. Make sure it’s not touching the sides to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.
- Cooking Time: Cook the pot pie at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Check at the 20-minute mark to ensure the crust is browning evenly and the filling is bubbling. Adjust time if needed.
- Check for Doneness: Open the air fryer and check if the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot. If the crust is browning too fast, cover it with aluminum foil and continue cooking.
- Rest and Serve: Let the pot pie rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the filling to set slightly, making it easier to serve and enjoy.
