Aldi Sells a Delicious Chicken Pot Pie (It Weighs Almost 2 Pounds)

One of my absolute favorite comfort foods is chicken pot pie. Even though I love to eat it, I don’t have the patience or time to make one from scratch. If you’ve ever made one, you know what I mean. So, I was thrilled to recently discover a chicken pot pie at Aldi that’s actually delicious. It’s called Park Street Deli Chicken Pot Pie, and I found it in the refrigerated section at my local Aldi.

What’s So Great About Aldi’s Park Street Deli Chicken Pot Pie

The Park Street Deli Chicken Pot Pie is fully cooked, so you just heat (in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes) and serve it. It serves four or five “normal” people or two teenage boys. Despite the fact that my teenage son eats like a hobbit—there’s never enough food at our house—he couldn’t finish an entire pie by himself. It’s that hearty and filling.

This baby weighs in at nearly two pounds, and it only costs $8.69, which is cheaper than pot pies I’ve tried from other brands. Though the pie’s circumference is a bit smaller than other ready-made chicken pot pies, it is taller and has more filling.

The other reason I love this pot pie so much is, well, it’s filling. Once you crack the surface of the buttery crust, you get a creamy gravy that envelops large, tender chunks of chicken and a mix of potatoes, carrots, and peas. Some pot pies are mostly gravy, but this pot pie is more chicken and veggies than gravy. The onion and garlic seasoning comes through and makes the chicken taste so good.

How I Serve Aldi’s Chicken Pot Pie

This pot pie is made for warming you up on a cool autumn evening. For my family, one pie and a bagged salad make this the perfect dinner—for those busy days when I have a lot going on at work, my husband is stuck late at work, and our athletic teenage son has weight lifting, practice, and a game or meet that runs into dinner.

I can take this pot pie out of the refrigerator, unwrap it, place it on a cookie sheet, and slide it into the oven to warm while I finish up a writing project. The instructions on the package say it will be ready in 20 to 30 minutes if you preheat the oven to 350°F, but in my convection oven, it was piping hot in about 15 minutes.

Though I’ll mostly be stocking up on this for dinners this fall and winter, I think it has potential for more. It would be great to serve at brunch with friends and family—the buttery crust and creamy chicken-and-veggie filling would pair nicely with champagne—just saying!
