Handheld Chicken Pot Pies, $4.49 at Trader Joe's

This savory comfort classic features a rich, flaky crust stuffed with traditional chicken pot pie filling: mostly dark meat chicken, peas, carrots and potatoes. It’s rich, savory and perfectly packaged for versatility, reliability and convenience. Trader Joe’s own supplier (who they say “just so happens to specialize in savory, handheld creations”) personally ensures that the filling is thick and hearty, “so as not to make a mess when you bite into your pie,” yet still creamy.
And I can actually attest to that myself—at first bite, I thought there wasn’t enough filling, only to realize that if it were as hearty as a traditional pot pie, it would be too soupy and spill everywhere. And if you’ve ever bitten into a freshly microwaved Hot Pocket and been burned by the molten lava inside, you’ll understand why this balance is just right.

Why These Handheld Pot Pies Have Me Hooked
When I tore the pocket in half, I initially worried there wasn’t enough filling. But as I started eating, I realized it was actually a very balanced mix. No single ingredient overpowers the others, and while a “more stuffed” version might be nice, I still felt satisfied after just one and got the full experience of a classic chicken pot pie with each bite.

How to Heat Trader Joe's Handheld Chicken Pot Pies
Both the microwave and air fryer are just as easy: start by removing the plastic wrapper, then heat for 15- to 16-minutes at 350°F in the air fryer, or a quick 1-minute 30-seconds on high in the microwave using a microwave-safe dish. And trust me, I know this better than anyone—when hunger strikes, there’s no judgment on how you heat it. The goal is always the same: delicious, craving-satisfying results.
