This easy ONE PAN Chicken Pot Pie is the perfect cozy comfort food. Made with either left over or rotisserie chicken and stuffed with carrots, celery, onion in an easy to make broth and cream filling.
Looking for an easy comforting dish then this Chicken Pot Pie all cooked up in one pan is for you! Simple ingredients that come together in a skillet. A family favorite!
Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie –
- skinless and boneless cooked chicken – chicken breasts, chicken thighs, chicken tenders. Left over chicken or store bought rotisserie chicken all work with this easy recipe
- carrots, celery and onion – the base for all good cozy food.
- chicken stock and half and half or cream – a mix of both stock and cream make for a not to heavy sauce.
- frozen peas – a staple for this dish.
- thyme, salt and pepper
- store bought puff pastry or pie crust – you can see the pie crust version in the video below but we though the puff pastry looked so fancy.
We start by heating a large skillet where we add a bit of oil and butter. Saute the carrots, onions and celery until just fork tender. Add the flour and cook until no flour is visible. Add the thyme, salt and pepper.
Add the broth and half and half (or heavy cream). Give a big stir and simmer until thickened. Taste for seasoning.
Once your sauce is thickened. Add the chicken and peas. Simmer until everything is warmed up and remove from the heat while you prepare the pastry.
As mentioned above we used puff pastry (frozen thawed) in lieu of store bought pie crust as you see in the video. Either works, I find the puff pastry to be so user friendly when simply cut in shapes and layed across the pie. You will need about 24-30 squares to cover a large skillet.
Brush with an egg and bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes until the top is golden brown.
So impressive looking but so easy! I’d also like to try this in individual au gratin dishes for a dinner party.
We love one pan meals for dinner. Check out a few of the more popular versions:

This sure sounds tasty! Just wondering if this pie can be sliced & served, OR does it contain so much sauce that it has to be spooned out? I’d like to know, so I can cut down on the liquid if need be. It looks lovely. I love the lattice top crust! Thank you.

Hi Angelina, it is more of a ‘scoopable’ dish vs. sliceable (since it is all made in 1 pan with no bottom crust). Hope you enjoy!
