I love when Disney does comfort food, and there’s no better place to get it than 50s Prime Time Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Between keeping our elbows off the table and finishing our veggies, this is one of our favorite spots because of the homestyle foods and amazing atmosphere. Just check out some of our readers’ favorite moments from 50s Prime Time!
Last year, we really enjoyed this hearty Chicken Pot Pie, a staple on the menu at this family-themed restaurant — and I know many of you have been looking for the recipe!
Check out our full review here. You’ll swear you’ve stumbled onto the set of your favorite 50s sitcom!

If this is one of your favorites, too, grab the ingredients and make this tasty dish for supper this weekend!
Grandma’s Chicken Pot Pie
Yield: 1 pie
Ingredients:
2 cups chicken tenderloins, uncooked
1 cup broccoli, tops only
1/2 cup carrot, cubed
1/2 cup celery, cubed
1/4 cup leek, diced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk or 3 cups half-and-half
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 pastry for double-crust pie
1 egg, beaten
Don't forget to ask for a TV table on your next visit to 50s Prime Time Cafe!
Method:
1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2.In boiling salted water, simmer chicken tenderloins, broccoli, carrots, celery, and leeks until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender, but still firm (about 15 minutes).
3. Drain well and set aside.
4. In a medium sized skillet, melt butter and add flour.
5. Cook for 5 minutes and add milk or half-and-half. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened (about 10 minutes).
6. Dissolve chicken bouillon cubes in 1/4 cup warm water and add to sauce. Blend in grated Parmesan cheese and remove from heat.
7. Add cooked chicken and vegetables and mix well.
8. Pour mixture into a deep-dish pie plate and cover with pie dough. Seal edges well and brush top with beaten egg.
9. Bake until crust is golden brown and the filling is hot (about 45 to 50 minutes). Brushing a little milk on the top of the pie dough before baking will give the crust a delightful color.

So going to try this out. Thank you AJ
We like chicken pot pie, AJ, so this is definitely a recipe that I’ll be trying out some time. Thanks for bringing it to us! We love the 50’s Prime Time 🙂 (although I usually get their fried chicken).
My daughter had this on our last visit (she was the girl with the nose ring from the “favorite moments” link. Good times!). The crust seemed more like a puff pastry than traditional pie crust. An easier way to go might be just baking off a few squares of puff pastry to top off each serving. I like easy!
I have been following your site for some time now. You do an awesome job! I had taken your pointers with us to WDW and we had an amazing time and loved every meal! I made sure to have this pot pie after one of your posts about it. I have started a family recipe share and made this recipe tonight. My entire family raved about Grandma’s Pot Pie and it is no on our rotation! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! Also I bought the book from amazon can’t wait to get it!

Stacey, Gert, and Christy — Thank you all for your comments! Disney recipes change often — especially when a new chef comes in. Our recipe was originally published in Mickey’s Gourmet Cookbook, and it’s possible that ingredients have been changed.

Hi Brooke – is there any way you can publish the most recent recipe for the chicken pot pie? My daughter was at Disney World with her marching band performing in the parade and ate at 50’s Prime Time Cafe and had the chicken pot pie. She loved it and I would like to get the recipe so I can make it for her.
Christy — We maintain a “Recipes Wanted” page, and we will add your request there. I completely understand. I recently had it at dinner and it’s so good!
Thank you so much Brooke! Will I receive an update with a link when it has been added?

Stacey I would love the real recipe please thank you
Stacey, I would love a copy of this recipe if possible. Just had this last month and it was so good.
How big is the pot pie. Is it good enough for two or just one person ??
Sounds wonderful! I will try it out. 50’s Prime Time Cafe is my favorite Disney restaurant and the pot pie my favorite entree. I thought it had button mushrooms in the recipe?
