Easy Skillet Chicken Pot Pies

There is nothing better than a delicious comforting chicken pot pie recipe. I grew up eating chicken pot pies, and it’s such a comforting recipe to me.

Traditionally are a bit more components to this recipe than I would like, so today we simplified it for you so we could trim out some time to make this recipe both easy, and also perfect for weeknight dinners.

Tips for making Easy Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

– Use leftover chicken breast or turkey if you have it! We buy rotisserie chicken a lot in our house, and we love using that  for our chicken pot pie filling.
– We use puff pastry for the top of our chicken pot pie and skip the bottom crust all together. While we absolutely love a classic pot pie with top and bottom crust, we love how easy it is to just throw on a puff pastry square at the end before it goes into the oven.
– You can freeze this filling in individual portions and then thaw them when you are ready!
