About this one-skillet meal
Our family of six boys loves pot pie dinners, which is why we make them so often. You can’t have too many good recipes for pot pie, especially when they’re this easy, economical, and delicious.
This chicken skillet recipe can be ready to eat in just 35 minutes!
I had my eye on this beautiful skillet meal for some time. It’s beyond easy to make and because I like potatoes in my pot pie, I decided to add a few. The other reason that I added some spuds is because I love peeling and cutting potatoes. Weird right? For some reason, I find it relaxing. Don’t judge me.
Potatoes are a filling and inexpensive ingredient to this delicious skillet meal.
Besides the weird thing about being able to slice potatoes (for me), this recipe uses my favorite kitchen tool, the timeless cast-iron skillet. I got mine from Amazon which has a great selection of, cast iron skillets.

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve put together a few pot pies before, none have been better than this one. It all makes me chuckle, thinking back to growing up and how I loved the frozen pot pies from the grocery store.
Back then, the “good” ones always had a crust on the bottom. Not this one, though. And guess what, it’s one of the really good ones!
