🍽Equipment
You will need an oven-safe mug for this chicken pot pie mug recipe. I love my 20-ounce Corningware meal mug (affiliate link)- it's a perfect size!
🌡️Storage
Store leftovers of this chicken pot pie in a mug in the fridge in the same meal mug you cooked it in (it serves as an airtight container when you have the lid on).
If you're looking for an individual chicken pot pie you can freeze after baking, this one is ideal! The best part is you can freeze it in the mug as soon as it's cool, then simply heat it up in a microwave for 2 minutes. I took it to work after it had been frozen and heated it up- it was perfect for eating on the go!
