Chicken and Biscuits Skillet Pot Pie
Our family of six boys loves pot pie dinners which is why we make them so often. Let’s be honest, 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 recipe for chicken skillet biscuit pot pie 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? I For some reason I find it relaxing. Don’t judge me.
Not just that, but 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.
To Make this Chicken Skillet Biscuit Pot Pie
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
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!

Recipe 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.
Don't be afraid to make this your own, use the ingredients and seasoning that you prefer!
I made this and OMG it was amazing! Did not change anything and it looks like I took hours of vlooblood d, swear and tears to create this greatness.
Thank you for sharing! Won’t be the last time I make this.
Wish I had been there to enjoy it with you! Thanks for the nice comments!
I made this. It was great!
Many thanks for your kind feedback! Thank you for reading Platter Talk!
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.
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!
Thanks, Dan! I’m sure it will be added to our favorite recipes file.
My Mom used to make Chicken & Biscuits all the time while I was growing up. It’s such a cozy, comfort meal and definitely brings back great memories. This looks so divine, perfect for a Sunday dinner when I’m missing my family!
When it comes to pot pies, I always shy away from making my own as the crust intimidates me – but am so loving y’alls use of pre-made biscuits as a topping!
This looks like the perfect recipe to feed a big family.
This is genius! I love how simple yet delicious this recipe looks!
So simple and quick to make yet so delicious (I bet it is). Bookmarking to make it for dinner next week!
I’ve still not cooked in a skillet yet, always use a dutch oven. Must give this a go.
This is total comfort food! My daughter would go nuts for this! I love your presentation in the cast iron skillet!

Potatoes are a great addition. We only have two kids (boy and girl) but our 12 year old boy already eats like an adult. I shudder to think what our food bills will be when he is a teenager, LOL Filling food is good 🙂
