Quick and Easy Chicken Pot Pie Pasta Skillet

When I’m craving something hearty but I don't want to turn on the oven or roll out a pie crust, this chicken pot pie pasta is the thing to make!

It recreates the classic pot pie into a simple skillet recipe with rotisserie chicken, veggies, and pasta coated in a light pan sauce. And things can get even cozier if you try my chicken pot pie soup!

Ingredients

This meal has many of the ingredients from the traditional version: cooked chicken (rotisserie or leftovers), onion, celery, peas, carrots, and corn. You’ll also need poultry seasoning to add that "pot pie" flavor to the sauce, chicken broth, and pasta, of course!

TIP: 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.

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Here is what you’ll have to do to have this cozy pot pie pasta ready to enjoy in less than 20 minutes:

Cook the pasta al dente, according to package instructions.
Make the sauce by sauteing the aromatics in a skillet. Pour in the broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Make this while the pasta cooks.
Add the veggies and chicken to the sauce once it has thickened.
Toss it all together, adding the pasta to the sauce and veggies. Toss to combine and serve.
