No need to have a family debate over what to serve with chicken pot pie! A bit of inspiration can go a long way!

I’m sure no one will say no to a plate of steaming hot french fries. Those go well with pretty much everything. But they’re certainly not a creative side dish.

I really wanted this list to be useful on busy weeknights so you have plenty of options you can whip up fast. Enjoy!

💖 Why You’ll Love These Recipes

Kid Friendly | When serving a family favorite, it’s good to make sure that there are kid friendly recipes to accompany it. All of these recipes make kids happy with sauce, noodles, potatoes and their favorite veggies.

Simple | Simple doesn’t mean losing elegance or taste. These recipes showcase basic ingredients in creative ways to make each one a new family side dish.

Elegant Enough for Entertaining | The majority of these recipes are perfect for entertaining with friends and family. Whip up two of them with a nice dessert like the Air Fryer Twix Cheesecake or the Air Fryer Roses.

Chicken Pot Pie, like many leftovers, should only be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days before it will risk getting food poisoning, according to Mayo Clinic.

Spring Asparagus Risotto

A fresh side like this spring asparagus risotto will lighten up your delicious chicken pot pie.

Orecchiette Pasta With Broccoli Sauce

Because of their shape, orecchiette pasta holds the sauce like a scoop and helps the small broccoli bits cling.

With that said, if you’re not a perfectionist, you can totally make this sauce and use a different pasta.

Smashed Potatoes Recipe

Can we really have a list without potatoes? If you’re looking for a tasty and easy potato side, I recommend this recipe.

Smashing the potatoes will help them release flavor. They turn out soft on the inside and crispy on the outside!

Mini Hasselback Potatoes

Balsamic Spinach & Mushrooms

Grilled Beer Corn

Only three ingredients make this recipe and one of them is beer! Once you boil your corn in beer, it’s time to throw it on the grill.

This is an excellent recipe for feeding a crowd. It works as a snack and as a side for your chicken pot pie.

Easy Fried Cabbage
