Skillet chicken pot pie is a favorite recipe of mine. I am not sure if it is because I know I can get all the food groups I aim to have for dinner in one pan, or because it is just that tasty, but nonetheless it is the best chicken dinner in my book!
It also seems as though lately skillet recipes are becoming more popular, and for good reason! The flavor this dish receives from the skillet is amazing and gets better every time you make it.
This skillet chicken pot pie recipe is such an easy dinner recipe, you’ll find yourself making it often! I know that we do here, especially during the winter.

Ingredients Needed For This Skillet Chicken Pot Pie:
- Butter
- Celery stalks, diced
- Carrots, diced
- Onion, diced
- Red potatoes, diced
- Minced garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
- Flour
- Chicken broth
- Cream cheese
- Shredded chicken
- Peas
- Fresh parsley, finely minced
- Puff pastry, thawed

How To Make This Skillet Chicken Pot Pie:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Once the butter is melted, add in the diced celery, onion, and red potatoes and allow them to saute for about 8-10 minutes or until they begin to get tender.
When that is done, add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper in with the vegetables and stir it together.
Then, add in the flour and chicken broth, mixing it all together.
After that is mixed, add in the cream cheese and let it all cook together for 5 more minutes while stirring continually.
Once that is all done, fold in the chicken and peas to the creamy vegetable mixture.
When that is completed, pour the mixture into a 12 inch oven safe skillet.
Then, top it off with the puff pastry and use a sharp knife to trim off the excess dough that is hanging over the sides of the skillet.
Now, in a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg and use a pastry brush to brush the egg on top of the puff pastry dough.
After that is done, place the pot pie in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until the top become a golden brown color.
Then simply remove the skillet chicken pot pie and serve it up!

Can I Use Pie Crust?
Many of you might not have puff pastry laying around, but you probably have some premade pie crust in your fridge. You can use pie crust in place of the puff pastry, however, it does give a bit of a different texture and you will have to cook the dish an extra 10-15 minutes longer to make sure the dough is cooked through all the way.
