Cook Time
Once the ingredients are prepped, the chicken pot pie will take about 40 minutes to bake in the oven. During that time, the crust will become golden and the filling will be cooked through and bubbly.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen carrots
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sheet pre-made puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and thyme and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the peas, carrots, and potatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the half and half, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes.
Pour the filling into the prepared skillet. Unfold the puff pastry and place it on top of the filling. Trim the edges if needed. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Serve warm.

Recipe Tips
For a crunchier crust, brush the top of the puff pastry with a little melted butter before baking. For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried herbs like oregano, basil, or parsley to the filling. If you like a thicker filling, you can whisk a little cornstarch into the broth before adding it to the skillet. You can also top the finished pot pie with grated cheese or crispy bacon.
