How many calories are in a chicken pot pie?
One slice of chicken pot pie, 210 g of frozen entree baked the way the box says, is 428 calories. Per 100 g the pie runs 204 calories, which sounds mild for a pastry dish. Nobody eats 100 g of pot pie, though. A whole single-serve pie of 302 g comes to 616.
You'd need to walk about 86 minutes to burn the 428 calories in one slice (210 g).

Chicken pot pie quick facts
The record on this page is USDA SR Legacy 173331, "Chicken pot pie, frozen entree, prepared". That is the pie most Americans actually hold: pulled from the freezer, baked until the crust browns, eaten out of its own tray. USDA also carries a homemade and restaurant profile at 255 calories per 100 g, and that one gets its own section below.
The retail labels agree with the frozen record rather than the homemade one. Marie Callender's main pies sit at 215 to 220 calories per 100 g and Bremer at 192, all clustered around the 204 of this USDA row.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 1 slice (210 g) | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 204 | 428 | — |
| Total fat | 11.85 g | 24.9 g | 32% |
| Saturated fat | 4.37 g | 9.2 g | 46% |
| Carbohydrate | 19.21 g | 40.3 g | 15% |
| Dietary fiber | 1.1 g | 2.3 g | 8% |
| Total sugars | 2.26 g | 4.7 g | — |
| Protein | 5.11 g | 10.7 g | 21% |

Verified nutrition data
Numbers on this page come from USDA FoodData Central, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food composition database, and from manufacturer labels where a branded product is named. Last verified September 2026. How we verify our data →
There is no added sugars row here because USDA does not publish added sugars for this SR Legacy record, and the same is true of trans fat, so neither is guessed at. Cholesterol comes to 32 mg per slice, 11% of the Daily Value, and potassium to 231 mg, only 5% — a pie is not a vegetable dish, whatever the peas suggest.
US servings, from one ounce to a whole frozen pie
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28 g | 57 kcal |
| 1 cup | 200 g | 408 kcal |
| One slice | 210 g | 428 kcal |
| One individual pie | 250 g | 510 kcal |
| One single-serve frozen pie | 302 g | 616 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 204 kcal |
Only two lines here are USDA's own: the 302 g single-serve pie and the flat 100 g. The cup, the slice, the individual pie and the ounce are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings, which is why they scale so cleanly.
That cup line is the trap. "One cup" sounds like a modest scoop next to "one pie", but 200 g of pot pie is 408 calories — two thirds of an entire 302 g single-serve pie for something you ladled into a bowl. If you log pot pie by the cup, you are logging almost the whole thing.
Homemade, cup, beef and crustless
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frozen chicken pot pie, prepared | 204 kcal | 1 slice (210 g) | 428 kcal |
| Homemade or restaurant pot pie | 255 kcal | 1 slice (210 g) | 536 kcal |
| Homemade or restaurant, by the cup | 255 kcal | 1 cup (200 g) | 510 kcal |
| Beef pot pie, frozen | 220 kcal | 1 cup (200 g) | 440 kcal |
| Crustless chicken pot pie | 75 kcal | 1 package (255 g) | 191 kcal |
| Chicken pot pie style soup | 68 kcal | 1 can (249 g) | 169 kcal |
The homemade number is the one that surprises people. A pie built in your own kitchen is 25% heavier per gram than the frozen entree — 255 against 204 — and the same 210 g slice jumps from 428 to 536 calories. The extra is butter and crust, not chicken; the homemade record also carries more protein per gram, 9.24 g against 5.11 g.
Beef swaps in at 220 calories per 100 g, so a cup of beef pot pie is 440 against 408 for chicken. That is a 32-calorie gap, small enough that the filling you prefer matters more than the count.
Then there are the two versions that barely belong to the same food. A crustless chicken pot pie meal is 75 calories per 100 g and 191 for the whole 255 g package. Chicken pot pie style soup is 68 per 100 g, 169 for a 249 g can. Both are the same flavor without the pastry, and the pastry is where nearly all the calories live.
Brand pies land close to the frozen USDA row. A Marie Callender's 10 oz style pie is 216 calories per 100 g and 611 for the full 283 g pie; the 16 oz tin is 215 per 100 g, so a 200 g cup of it is 430. Bremer's 198 g pie is the lighter buy at 380, and a Roasted Chicken Pot Pie line runs 123 per 100 g, 331 for a 269 g pie.
Sodium is the row to watch, not the calories
At 428 calories a slice, pot pie is an ordinary dinner. The sodium is not. One slice is 825 mg, 36% of the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg. A whole 302 g single-serve pie is 1,187 mg — 52% of a day in one tray, roughly half a teaspoon of table salt.
Saturated fat runs the same way. A slice is 9.2 g, 46% of the 20 g Daily Value; the whole pie is 13.2 g, 66%. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans put saturated fat under 10% of daily calories, and one pie spends most of that on crust.
Protein is the disappointment. Ten point seven grams a slice is 21% of the Daily Value, respectable on paper, but at 5.11 g per 100 g the frozen pie carries just over half the protein of USDA's homemade record, 9.24 g. The chicken is a garnish inside a sauce. If you want the pie to work as a dinner, pair it with something from the protein group rather than treating the pie as the protein.
Practical version: half a pie with a green salad keeps sodium near a quarter of the day and calories near 300 — our own halving of the USDA 302 g pie, not a USDA serving. A whole pie eaten straight from the tray is a 616-calorie, half-a-day's-sodium meal, which is fine occasionally and heavy as a habit.
How does chicken pot pie compare?
Ounce for ounce against its freezer-aisle neighbors, using each record's own USDA per-100-g figure scaled to a single ounce:
| Food | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken pot pie, frozen entree | 204 kcal | 1 oz, 28 g | 57 kcal |
| Beef pot pie, frozen entree | 220 kcal | 1 oz, 28 g | 62 kcal |
| Meat-and-cheese turnover, reduced fat | 215 kcal | 1 oz, 28 g | 60 kcal |
| Chicken egg rolls, heated | 197 kcal | 1 oz, 28 g | 55 kcal |
Our take: per gram these four are almost the same food, spread across just 23 calories per 100 g, and only the egg rolls are lighter than chicken pot pie. What separates them is how much of the thing lands on your plate. An egg roll is 60 or 70 g; a pot pie is 302 g and comes with a fork. If you are cutting calories, the pie is not the villain — the serving size is, and the fix is half a pie rather than a different pastry. If you are eating for fullness on a cold night, the pot pie wins outright: it is the only one of the four that arrives as a whole meal.

Chicken pot pie FAQs
How many calories are in a slice of chicken pot pie?
A 210 g slice of frozen chicken pot pie, baked as the box directs, is 428 calories. That follows from the USDA figure of 204 calories per 100 g. Slices vary a lot: a smaller 150 g wedge is about 306 calories, again our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g number rather than a USDA serving.
How many calories are in a whole chicken pot pie?
A single-serve frozen pie of 302 g is 616 calories, and that weight is USDA's own household portion for this record. It also carries 1,187 mg of sodium and 13.2 g of saturated fat, which is 52% and 66% of the respective Daily Values. One pie is a full meal's budget, not a side dish.
How many calories are in a cup of chicken pot pie?
One cup weighs about 200 g and comes to 408 calories, our own arithmetic from the USDA figure of 204 per 100 g. A cup sounds modest next to a whole pie, but it is two thirds of one 302 g single-serve pie. Measuring by the cup hides how much pastry you are eating.
Is homemade chicken pot pie lower in calories than frozen?
No — USDA's homemade and restaurant record runs 255 calories per 100 g against 204 for the prepared frozen entree, so the same 210 g slice is 536 calories instead of 428. The extra comes from a richer crust and more fat per gram. Homemade does bring more protein: 9.24 g per 100 g against 5.11 g.
How much sodium is in a chicken pot pie?
A 210 g slice carries 825 mg of sodium, 36% of the 2,300 mg Daily Value. A whole 302 g single-serve pie is 1,187 mg, or 52% of the day. That is roughly half a teaspoon of table salt in one tray, before the rest of the day's food is counted at all.
How much protein is in chicken pot pie?
A 210 g slice gives 10.7 g of protein, 21% of the 50 g Daily Value. Per 100 g the frozen pie holds only 5.11 g, which is low for a dish named after chicken; the filling is mostly sauce and vegetables. USDA's homemade record does better at 9.24 g per 100 g.
How many calories are in a Marie Callender's chicken pot pie?
The 10 oz pie is 611 calories for the whole 283 g tray, or 216 calories per 100 g. The 16 oz version is 215 per 100 g, so a labeled 200 g cup of it is 430. Bremer's 198 g pie is lighter at 380, and a roasted chicken line runs 331 per 269 g pie.
Is chicken pot pie healthy?
It is calorie-dense comfort food rather than a light meal: 428 calories, 24.9 g of fat and 825 mg of sodium in one 210 g slice, with only 2.3 g of fiber. If you are watching sodium or saturated fat, half a pie with a salad fits an ordinary day far better than a whole tray.
