For reheating a chicken pot pie with an unbaked crust, I recommend setting the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the pot pie with aluminum foil to prevent the crust from over-browning, and bake it for about 25-30 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to let the crust brown and become crispy. This should ensure the filling is heated through and the crust is golden.

thanks for trying but it wasn't puff pastry.  i googled and read that if the whole thing had been frozen, u reheat at a high temp.  if the crust has never been baked but the filling had been cooked prior, u just heat at a medium heat for like 30 min.s till the crust browns.  that worked for the friend.  tx

Alan - don’t have a clear answer because I think they’ll take different times.
A possible work- around - package then separately.
• Heat the chicken filling in pottery in a microwave or in the oven first.
• Bake the puff pastry on a small baking pan or frying pan.
• When brown and crispy, slide pastry onto the pie and enjoy.
