This flaky Skillet Chicken Pot Pie is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for warming up on a chilly day. The golden, buttery crust envelopes a rich, creamy filling packed with tender chicken and vibrant veggies. It’s hearty, satisfying, and ready to impress in just 30 minutes!
Melt butter in large cast iron pan. Add flour, salt & pepper. Let cook for a few minutes slowly stirring it well.
Add milk & chicken broth combining well and stir until thick & creamy. Remove from heat…add chicken and vegetables and if you do the optional potatoes.
Put bottom crust in a 10″ cast iron skillet (cold). Pour in filling. Top with second crust and seal edges well. Cut a few slits in top so it can vent while baking.
Bake at 425 degrees for 30-45 minutes. (mine took the full 45 minutes) Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep the Crust Cold: Chilling your crust before baking creates extra flaky, buttery layers.
Egg Wash for the Win: Brushing the top crust with egg wash ensures a crispy, golden top.
Let It Rest: Cooling the pie for 5-10 minutes makes slicing cleaner and serving easier.
