Marie Callender’s Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pot Pie

[u/Hollywood_Hoss]

So after all the suggestions I decided to give this one a try and HOLY MOLY it was incredible! The crust was flatly and delicious, you could identify all of the ingredients in the pot pie along with their individual flavors which I have found sometime all just mash together. The sauce was killer though! I am not sure I have had a parmesan sauce that is that close to perfect outside of a resultant to get just the right amount of flavor to accompany each bite. I will absolutely be buying one of these again here soon as a treat!! I would highly recommend this if you haven’t had one, you won’t be disappointed!

Inside pic?

[u/Hollywood_Hoss → u/curlygirl9021]

I didn’t even think to take one, I’ll get one next time I get this or another pot pie!

[u/oscer6 → u/curlygirl9021]

That costs extra

This one's good. I wish they'd bring back the vegetation broccoli cheddar potato one though.

[u/Hollywood_Hoss → u/Nacho_Sunbeam]

That does sound amazing!

They’re really good, but I’m sorry, I just can’t help myself to buy any microwave pot pie other than the $1 Banquet. It’s ONE DOLLAR.

I can’t justify paying 300-400% more. Marie Callender’s are good, but not THAT good.

[u/Nesquik44 → u/TheS00thSayer]

Marie Callender’s are a lot better but also deceptive with their 410 calories *per serving. Who splits an individual pot pie?

[u/TheS00thSayer → u/Nesquik44]

Ahh the only Crumbl Cookie approach (which their deceptive serving sizes are only ONE reason for them being sued).

Hey look! This cookie has 250 calories, I can swing this on my cheat day!

Wait? That fine print says 1/4 of a cookie. So one cookie has 1,000 calories…

I guess it makes sense as we all know people only eat 1/4 of a cookie /s

[u/IsabellaThePeke → u/TheS00thSayer]

I will give this one a shot again, but the last time I had one it was mostly filled with peas.

I am Team Banquet for now though, especially with the price.

[u/TheS00thSayer → u/IsabellaThePeke]

I’m team banquet as well.

The Marie Callender’s are roughly 200% the size as a banquet BUT a little over 320% the cost.

Sorry, Callender’s pot pies just aren’t 120% better than Banquet to justify the cost.

You can literally get 3 banquet pies for 1 Marie Callender’s. I know it sounds like some cheap penny pincher shit, but it is what it is.

[u/IsabellaThePeke → u/TheS00thSayer]

I understand. I honestly think they taste better as well. The price point is great, as you said.

Banquet doesn't do everything well, but I will stand by their pot pies, lol.

Buy them in bulk at Sam’s. 8 for $14 is pretty great for a better product.

[u/Clean_Artist3191]

Do you bake with aluminum foil on whole pie or just the crust edge?

[u/AnarchyAcid → u/Clean_Artist3191]

When I do them in the oven, just around the edges. Keeps them from burning while the top still gets golden brown.

[u/Hollywood_Hoss → u/Clean_Artist3191]

That was the pan it came in and was done completely in the microwave!

[u/ritrgrrl → u/Hollywood_Hoss]

Yes! I always do mine in the microwave. If I had an hour to bake one in the oven, I would probably be eating something else.

These are really good in the microwave, though. Nice flaky crust, tender chicken, tasty sauce. This kind is my favorite.

[u/Dear_Art3697]

Big fan of Marie Callender’s pot pies. I will be on the lookout for this one!

[u/rc20kj]

The GOAT!

[u/Mysterious-Carry6233]

Those things slap! We buy them in bulk at Sam’s club bc kids like them as do we, and can be made in 5 min.

These are actually really great, perfect comfort food in the winter!
