How To Make Skillet Chicken Pot Pie
Lets start by steaming two chicken breast for 20 minutes. Steaming is a great way to preserve the moisture which is super important! I added some oregano, onion powder and seasoned with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. (Check the center of the chicken to make sure it is cooked through as the breast size may vary)
When the chicken is cooked transfer to a cutting board and cut into cute little bite size cubes.
Meanwhile sauté the onion, garlic and mushrooms until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Then you add your veggie mix. I used a bag of frozen vegetable medley but you can certainly choose a different mix.
Next add in the cubed chicken and cream of chicken soup!
I know you will consider stopping right here and serving over rice (I totally did!). That’s a delicious option for those busy-er week nights when time is really not on your side. For now, let’s finish the pie!
Place a pie crust on top of the chicken veggie mix and tuck in any extra dough, forming sort of a curl around the edge, or you can use a fork to make a lined edge. Use your imagination to create something fun!
Using a sharp knife, cut four slits in on top of the crust to vent.
Take a picture. It’s beautiful!!
Bake for 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown... and perfect, and delicious!
...Or until a neighbor knocks on your door asking what the heck are you cooking that smells so good! 😋
This Skillet Chicken Pot Pie is really a delicious and mouthwatering dish that your whole family will love. It’s the type of recipe that tastes 100x better when made fresh at home. I promise, it’s worth your time and effort.
Oh, and don’t plan on having left overs. There won’t be any left!
