They say in Japan, the Japanese eat curry at least 3 times a month, if not more. We can totally taste why. Its silky, curried gravy comforts year round as the Japanese style curries can be mild to extra hot. Some even have a buttery and slightly sweet note to them for a unique flavor.
Normally served over a bowl of rice, we've taken the Japanese curry and introduced it to the "pot pie." Yes. Yes, we did. And we can't get enough of it.
Flaky pastry blankets an easy-to-prepare Japanese curry chicken filling all in a delicious pie pan. It's Asian comfort food showing up to Sunday night dinner.

Preheat oven to 375°F.
DO THIS
In a large pot, prepare the curry according to the package instructions using the water and ingredients listed above - put the cooked chicken last. Let the curry mixture cool slightly.
Lightly spray two pie pans with nonstick spray. Line each bottom with pie crust. Divide the curry filling evenly between them.
Cover each pie with remaining pie crust. Pinch edges to seal, use a knife to make a few slits in the top of crust for steam to escape, and brush with egg wash (if using).
Place both pie pans on a cookie sheet and bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Let rest for 15–30 minutes before serving.
Recipe Note
There are so many styles of Japanese curry....this recipe gives you the framework to make this however you want - apple curry, dark curry, white curry, golden....it's endless!
Freezes Well! Don't want to bake both pies? Not a problem - this can be frozen pre-assembled, pre-baked!
- After brushing top of crusts, wrap entire pie (baking dish included) in heavy duty foil and freeze up to 1 month.
- When ready, you can bake from frozen in the same way as steps 4-5.
