Skillet Chicken Pot Pie
Skillet Chicken Pot Pie is full of chicken and vegetables that are cooked in one skillet then covered with pie dough and baked in the oven. Use a cast iron skillet (or an oven safe skillet) and everything can be done in one pan.
This is another post from a cooking class that I attended. The pictures were taken in a hurry and at a different location than my home. The recipe was given to us by the chef and the Skillet Chicken Pot Pie tasted excellent. Your pot pie will be a little wetter than the picture when it comes out of the oven. We made and baked the pot pie at the class, took it home and I reheated it the next day for this picture so most of the liquid was absorbed and it was still delicious!
Ingredients – plus the chicken.
In a large oven safe skillet
(like cast iron),
add the oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and
season with salt and pepper. Cook,
without stirring, on one side until the
chicken starts to turn white on the bottom.
Turn the chicken over and continue
to cook until no pink remains.
Stir in the celery, carrots,
onions and thyme to the skillet.
Continue to cook, stirring frequently,
until the onion is transparent.
Push everything toward the edge of the
skillet making the center clear of food.
Place the butter into the center trying to
keep it from melting into the vegetables.
Once the butter is melted, quickly
whisk the flour into the butter
trying not to leave any lumps.
Slowly add the chicken
broth stirring constantly.
Add the milk, bring to a simmer.
Simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the peas and potatoes. Simmer on
low for 10 minutes stirring frequently.
Stir in the parsley, salt and pepper to
taste and remove from the heat.
In a small bowl whisk the egg and set aside.
Place the pie crust on top of the vegetables.
Be careful of the hot pan. Make sure
the dough doesn’t go over the edge
of the pan. Tuck the dough inside the
pan instead and touching the edge.
Poke small slits all over the dough.
****************************
Remember I made this in class and we had
to split the recipe so we used aluminum
pans so we could take them home.
Cover the top of the dough with a light
coating of the egg and bake in a preheated
375 degree oven for 45 – 60 minutes or
until the top is a golden brown.
Let the pot pie rest for 10 minutes then serve.

- 12 oz. evaporated milk

Looks yummy!
Thank you Saania!
My pleasure ❤️
Omg this looks amazing…thank you!! 😋
I have not made chicken pot pie in a long time! Now I’m ready! Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re welcome Nancy! We have it quite a bit but I always make it with Campbells soup. This cooking class showed me a new way and my husband & I loved it!
Looks good! Will try this with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving! Thanks!
Great idea!
Such a great comfort food and I love the idea of not dirtying up an extra dish.
That looks so enticing!!! An easy way to do the pie crust, too.
Virtual hugs,
Judie
Thanks!
Looks delicious!
Thank you very much!
I’m sick and now this is all I want to eat!
Oh no! If I could bring you some I would! Get better soon Kristen!
Nice crust! I want to dive in!
Mmmmmmm!
Thank you! ❤️
Looks amazing! I was on the reader then went to your site. It says “follow”… I tried logging in several times and it didn’t work. Some on a comment (on my blog) said they had the problem then clicked on “about” then it said “following”. I did this before on another site and it didn’t work. BUT, it did with yours just now. BUT, when I try to “like” from your site a white box appears and nothing happens. But, I can like from the reader. Weird…
I give up I know exactly what you are talking about!
Correction… The like is not working even on reader. This happened before with other blogs but then worked later.
I hope it gets better this is awful!
Looks amazing . Will be trying it soon.
I like how this dish can be made in a skillet. I never though about making a pot pie in a skillet.
😁😁😁
Looks very tasty!
I will have to try this one. I love Chicken Pot Pie and I just bought myself a cast iron skillet, sooooo, it seems like a good choice.
Once again, a dish I think our older daughter would like!
Fantastic! it is so hard finding things they love to eat. Fixed frog legs for my family and my husband wouldn’t even try them….hahahaha I told the grandkids they were chicken but they didn’t like that kind of chicken. I’m so bad! 🤣😂🤣😂
I had frog legs once…they were fine. I would still rather eat chicken legs, though…or some succulent duck. OK, now I want some Szechuan duck… 🙂
Do you have a great recipe? We just bought a duck at the international market. The frog legs were funny. The calf tasted mild and the thigh tasted like a mild fish.
No…thinking of nearby Golden Temple… 🙂
Oh darn! Thanks anyway Matt!
Looks so so good and comforting 🙂
Thank you it had an amazing flavor. Good old fashioned comfort food!
We enjoy pot pie here on the farm. Have not tried it this way! Looks delicious, Diane!
