Brown butter parmesan corn

This recipe transforms a humble can of corn into a delicious, holiday-worthy side dish.

Don’t forget to sprinkle parmesan cheese over your corn before serving it with your chicken pot pie for a tasty and wholesome meal.

Why we love this recipe: it requires basic ingredients you already have in your pantry.

Roasted garlic mashed cauliflower

Mashed potatoes are great with your pot pie’s creamy chicken filling, but if you want something lighter, try mashed cauliflower.

This mash won’t taste entirely like the potato version, but it’s still luscious and super creamy.

Plus, the roasted garlic gives the mash a subtly sweet, garlicky note.

Why we love this recipe: it’s a low-carb alternative to mash with tons of flavor.

Bruschetta arugula salad

This arugula salad is the perfect fresh side to pair with your chicken pot pie.

It’s a simple, no-cook dish you can prepare as your pie bakes.

Plus, the combination of peppery arugula, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and the tangy balsamic reduction is what you need to cut through your pot pie’s rich flavors.

Why we love this recipe: you’ll enjoy the flavors of bruschetta without the added calories of crusty bread.

Mixed berry trifle

A mixed berry trifle is a great way to cap off your chicken pot pie meal.

Typical recipes for trifle call for custard, but this recipe calls for a lemon cream instead.

You’ll still get a creamy, fruity dessert that’s a little lighter.

Why we love this recipe: it’s a no-bake ‘pot’ dessert!

Southern-style mustard greens

Cooking mustard greens Southern-style involves braising them with a cider vinegar mixture until tender.

It gives them a tangy, slightly sweet flavor that perfectly contrasts your creamy chicken filling.

This dish takes time to make, but one taste and you’ll see why it’s worth the wait.

Why we love this recipe: everything is cooked in just one pot, including the crispy bacon topping.

Sesame garlic broccoli

Blanched broccoli is my go-to veggie side for chicken pot pie.

The crisp-tender florets are a satisfying contrast to your tender, velvety chicken filling.

You can serve them plain, but I like tossing them with garlic-roasted soy and sesame sauce for an umami boost.

Why we love this recipe: these are perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Baked potato wedges

Is your pot pie crust not enough carbs for you?

Serve it with these potato wedges – they’re pillowy soft, with lightly crisp interiors.

You can season these with whatever you want, but I like to stick to the classic garlic and parmesan combo.

Why we love this recipe: wedges are easier to cut and are thicker than your usual fries.

Enjoy your asparagus in a new and unique way by quick-pickling them.

No canning involved, just a soak in a hot vinegar pickle solution, infusing your spears with a tasty sweet and tangy flavor.

Why we love this recipe: you can dig into these pickles as soon as they cool down, but they get better the longer they sit.

Apple beet slaw

It’s not typical to see beets in salads, but their sweet, earthy flavor and crunch are an excellent addition.

This flavor, combined with the sweet apples balances the tangy dressing, giving you the right acidity to offset the richness of your pie.

Why we love this recipe: it’s a unique spin on classic coleslaw.

Sweet and spicy brussels sprouts

Take your humble brussels sprouts up a notch by tossing them in a sriracha maple syrup sauce, then air frying them on high heat.

The resulting dish?

Crisp-tender sprouts with crunchy edges and a sweet-spicy kick. Yum!

Spice up your chicken pot pie with these jazzed-up sprouts.

Why we love this recipe: just prep the sprouts and sauce – the air fryer does the rest of the work!

Cheesy roasted tomatoes

These cheesy roasted tomatoes are a fantastic side to pair with chicken pot pie.

Combining mozzarella and parmesan cheese with your sweet, slightly acidic tomatoes is simply delightful.

This may remind you of a classic Caprese salad – just with gooey, melted cheese.

Why we love this recipe: it’s a straightforward recipe that yields a tasty, low-carb side dish.

Cranberry relish

Add a tasty holiday flair to your chicken pot pie with a topping of this vibrant relish.

Canned cranberry sauce has nothing on this relish – it has the perfect amount of sweetness and a delightful citrusy note that pairs well with your pie.

Plus, it’s effortless to make, with just 20 minutes of active cooking time.

Why we love this recipe: its flavor gets even better after resting for a couple of days.

Parmesan crisps

These parmesan crisps are the perfect low-carb addition to your chicken pot pie.

They’re made with just three ingredients: freshly grated parmesan, garlic, and paprika.

Not a fan of parmesan cheese? Use your favorite hard cheese instead (I love Asiago).

Why we love this recipe: they’re ridiculously easy to make.

What to serve with mini chicken pot pies

If you’re serving mini chicken pot pies at a party, I would stick with the mini theme and serve things like mini shepherds pie, mini quiches, or mini pizzas alongside them.

A light salad like a vinegar slaw or a tossed Italian salad is also a great option.

And don’t forget the dipping sauce! Go for a KFC copycat gravy, chipotle ketchup, or a mustard mayonnaise.

What desserts go well with chicken pot pie

Chicken pot pie is a classic, comforting dish. So I like to serve classic desserts with it, but nothing too heavy because your guests will be pretty full from the pie already.

Mixed berry trifle is my favorite dessert to serve with chicken pot pie. But you can also try lemon bundt cake or pumpkin pie. For something quick and healthy, try a strawberry pineapple sherbet.
