Nothing is more comforting than a homemade chicken pot pie. This classic version is cooked in a cast iron skillet, giving you a delicious and crunchy crust. The filling is made with chicken, vegetables, and a creamy gravy. Serve this comforting meal with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Prep Time

This homemade chicken pot pie recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare. You will need to cook and shred the chicken, dice the vegetables, and make the gravy.

Cook Time

The chicken pot pie will need to bake for about 25 minutes. You will know it is done when the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

For a vegetarian option, you can substitute the chicken with cooked lentils or black beans.
