Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

The cool weather won’t be around much longer so I took advantage of it recently and made an easy cast iron skillet chicken pot pie recipe. I loved the idea of making the whole meal using one skillet, and the store-bought crust made this pot pie perfect for a busy weeknight. I served this comforting and delicious chicken pot pie with a Maple-Roasted Carrot Salad along with some freshly baked bread and my entire family thought it was tasty.

How to Make a Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 10 minutes, or until nearly fork-tender. Drain.

Heat the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes, or until nearly tender. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.

Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring often, for 1-2 minutes. Very slowly add the broth then add the milk and cook for a few minutes until a bit thickened. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Add the drained potatoes, chicken, frozen corn, and frozen peas then stir until well combined. Taste and re-season if needed.

Place the pie crust on top of the filled cast iron skillet and crimp the edges with a fork. Make a few slits in the top of the pie with a sharp knife for venting.

Place into the oven and cook for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

  1. Looks perfect for a cool day. I think our night temps in the 40’s last week were probably the last of the cool temps until fall.

  2. 5 stars
    I’m such a sucker for pot pies. Just got my 1st CIS but think I need to fry up a few batches of bacon before trying this in it 🙂 …but soon. Would love to find a stovetop pot pie recipe so I don’t have to turn the oven on in summer. Must try this before summer hits!

    1. I’m sure you can but you may need to adjust the cooking time a little bit. Let me know how it turns out!
