About this skillet meal pot pie
Our family of six boys loves pot pies, 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.
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.
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.
Main ingredients
(Full recipe at the end of this post)
- Chicken
- Biscuits
- Celery
- Onion
- Carrot
- Potato
- Peas
- Carrots
- Broth
How to make it
(Full recipe at the end of this post)
- Sautée some vegetables with the potatoes
- Add some flour, broth, and cream.
- Toss in some diced chicken breast, and seasoning.
- Place some store-bought biscuits on top of the mixture and then bake.
- Easy. Peasy
- Start this pot pie recipe by creating a chicken and vegetable base, using a cast-iron skillet.
- Pop open a can of refrigerated biscuits and spread them evenly over the chicken mixture.
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!

Notes
- Substitute milk for the cream to save a few calories.
- If biscuits start to get too brown on top, place a sheet of foil over them until pot pie is done baking.

- You can use any leftover meat for this skillet pot pie. Things like:
- Leftover turkey
- Leftover beef
- Pork that is leftover

WOW! This is one of the best chicken pie recipes I tried so far Yum!
I tried the recipe exactly and the results were perfect, My partner loves this too!
Grannynopanty says
This was pretty darn good. I followed the recipe and used a pre cooked roasted chicken. I actually chose this recipe to use up the leftover chicken. I added it with the peas and corn. I will make this again.
Katina~1 ‘R’ shy of a hurricane says
Delicious and ohhh so easy!! Time saving tidbit: I used a bag of chopped onion, carrot and celery from the freezer section. There are other varieties as well…with bell pepper, for example. All are great for soups, casseroles, chili, omelets, etc. Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes!

I wasn’t sure if the chicken was cooked or raw, so I cooked the chicken first. Still turned out great.

Jules says
Dan, I know this seems silly but the diced chicken is raw? You don’t use cooked chicken, right? My daughter loves chicken pot pie so I’m making this for her this weekend.
Dan from Platter Talk says
Not a silly question at all. As written, the chicken is raw when you add it. However, I’m sure you could use a pre-cooked (rotisserie etc) chicken (or even leftovers) if you wanted to save yourself some time. Have fun with this one, I think your daughter will love!
Jules says
Thanks, Dan! I’m sure it will be added to our favorite recipes file.
