If you love one-pot wonders, then this skillet chicken pot pie is a must-try.

Like our extra-crispy air fryer chicken drumsticks, we’re all about easy and inexpensive chicken recipes. Today I’ll show you how to make this skillet pot pie in under an hour for only about $10.00! As a bonus, make this delicious family meal in just one pot!

About Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

We make many inexpensive family dinners, and the easier, the better. I’m talking about favorite family meals like our slow cooker chicken and biscuits, crockpot creamy chicken, and our kid-friendly jambalaya.

This skillet pot pie works great with leftover chicken for any of the above recipes, or even our oven-baked panko chicken recipe.

Lucky for us, our kids love all sorts of low-budget dinner recipes. Things like old-fashioned goulash, homemade beefaroni (pizza pasta), and these delicious crock pot chicken thighs.

Our family of six boys loves pot pies, which is why we make them so often. You can’t have too many good potpie recipes, 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 that 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.

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 cooked diced chicken and seasoning.
• Place some store-bought biscuits on top of the mixture and then bake.
• Easy. Peasy

1. Start this pot pie recipe by creating a chicken and vegetable base, using a cast-iron skillet.
2. Pop open a can of refrigerated biscuits and spread them evenly over the chicken mixture.

Substitutions and Variations

It’s easy to switch up this skillet pot pie and use what you have on hand.

This is a great way to use leftover chicken or a good way to use rotisserie chicken, just like this Lipton chicken noodle soup recipe.

As I mentioned, I’ve put together a few pot pies before, and none have been better. Thinking back to growing up and how I loved the frozen pot pies from the grocery store makes me chuckle.

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!
