This Family-Friendly Dinner is a 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!

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.
