Blake’s Chicken Pot Pie: A Frozen Dinner Option and a Homemade Recipe for Fall
Golden pastry and savory filling are a familiar invitation to sit down to dinner when the evenings turn cool. If chicken pot pie is on your mind, start with the practical question: do you want a frozen meal to prepare from its package, or a pie you assemble yourself? Blake’s Chicken Pot Pie belongs to the first route. The recipe below gives you a separate option for a night when you want to cook.
What is Blake’s Chicken Pot Pie?
H-E-B’s current product listing identifies the standard Blake’s All-Natural Chicken Pot Pie as an 8-ounce frozen meal with white meat chicken, vegetables, potatoes and gravy under a pastry crust. Its listed vegetables include carrots and peas, and its allergen statement names milk and wheat. Those details describe that listed version; check the actual carton before buying or cooking.
There is also a separately named Blake’s Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie. Do not treat the two names as interchangeable. Match the full product name, size, ingredients and allergen statement to the version you intend to purchase. This article is a researched product guide, with no hands-on taste or texture rating.
Before you choose the frozen option
Read the package’s preparation directions before building your dinner plan. Use the cooking method, appliance requirements, temperature checks and standing time printed on your exact carton. The homemade recipe’s oven directions below do not apply to the frozen product.
For shopping, useful terms are “Blake’s Chicken Pot Pie,” “frozen chicken pot pie” and the exact version name. Adding “gluten free” changes what you are looking for; it is not a description of every Blake’s pie. Compare the package count and total price when looking at results, since a single meal and a multipack are different purchases.

View on AmazonWhen the homemade route fits
Choose the recipe route when you want to assemble a casserole using cooked chicken, mixed vegetables and a gravy shortcut. Set out a saucepan and an oven-safe one-quart casserole before you start. This makes a different pie from the frozen Blake’s meal; it is not a copycat formula.
Recipe card: Easy Homemade Chicken Pot Pie
Adapted in concise form from Pillsbury’s Easy Chicken Pot Pie; not tested by Tha Munchiez.
Ingredients
- 1 box (14.1 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts (two), package-softened
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken
- 2 cups thawed frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 jar (12 oz) roasted chicken gravy
Method
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line a 1-quart casserole with one crust.
- Boil chicken, vegetables, thyme and gravy over medium-high heat, stirring. Fill crust.
- Add second crust; vent, trim and seal edges.
- Bake 20–30 minutes until golden and bubbling; foil-shield edges after 15–20 minutes if needed.
Serve the pie you planned
For the homemade casserole, look for the golden crust and bubbling filling specified in the recipe. Use a serving spoon to lift pastry and filling together rather than expecting a tidy bakery-style slice. A simple green salad can sit alongside either dinner route if that suits your meal.
If you choose Blake’s, keep its package directions at hand. If you cook the casserole, keep the ingredient amounts and method together. That small distinction lets you enjoy the same comfort-food idea while following the directions intended for the pie in front of you.
