Quick and easy comfort food recipe that comes together in one skillet!

This chicken pot pie pasta is a cozy and delicious meal made in one skillet. It has all the flavor and comfort-food feels of a traditional pot pie recipe but less work and clean-up involved!

Quick and Easy Chicken Pot Pie Pasta Skillet

Chicken pot pie pasta recreates the classic pot pie into a simple skillet recipe with rotisserie chicken, veggies, and pasta coated in a light pan sauce.

It’s a great dish to make when you’re craving something hearty but don’t want to turn on the oven or roll out pie crust.

Instead, you can whip up this pasta on the stove-top in about 20 minutes and serve it with a side salad or steamed broccoli.

Chicken is a staple protein in many family-favorite meals, but if you find yourself making the same recipes over and over… you need this!

Ingredients

Another favorite weeknight meal is my Spaghetti Carbonara. It makes a great dinner and then can easily transform into lunch for the next day!

This chicken pot pie pasta has many of the ingredients from the traditional recipe plus pasta, of course! This is what you’ll need to make this recipe:

pasta: use any tubed or shelled pasta: penne, rotini, macaroni, etc.
butter: cooked with aromatic vegetables and makes the base for the pan sauce.
yellow onion: or white onion, just as long as onions are involved.
celery: an aromatic vegetable cooked down with onions and butter.
poultry seasoning: adds that “pot pie” flavor to the sauce.
all-purpose flour: whisked into the cooked vegetables and helps thicken the sauce.
chicken broth: combined with the flour-coated veggies and simmered to create the “sauce.
mixed vegetables: the quintessential pot pie veggies- frozen peas, carrots, and corn. You can find this combo in the frozen section of your grocery store.
rotisserie chicken: my #1 kitchen hack to save time with recipes that include pre-cooked chicken. You can also use any leftover cooked chicken from a previous meal- you’ll need 2 cups chopped.

Don’t have a rotisserie chicken or leftovers, but want to make this recipe tonight? Pan-sear boneless chicken breast in the same skillet, remove it from the pan and cook the tidbits left with the veggies for added flavor.

Simply give the chicken a rough chop before stirring it into the veggies and sauce.
