Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie
I love the fall in central NY. The crisp air, the changing colors of the leaves, and the smell of apple pie baking are all my favorite parts of fall. I love sitting in the house on a Sunday watching football with my husband and making comfort foods.
Chicken pot pie is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. I found a cast-iron skillet Chicken Potpie recipe that is simple to make and tastes great. Also find my Cast Iron Skillet Apple Crisp for a nice easy dessert.
What Is The Crust On Pot Pie
I used the pie crust, it is the perfect texture for your potpie. You can roll out the store-bought dough and shape for your pan, or make homemade dough. It is totally up to you what you choose to do.

Can I Use Fresh Vegetables In Pot Pie
Absolutely. I reached for frozen veggies as they are frozen at their peak. But if you have some fresh vegetables you want to use go for it. For green beans, I would steam them for a bit to help with the cooking process. That way when you slice and serve you have tender green beans waiting for you along with other veggies.
What Sides Go With Chicken Pot Pie
- Chopped salad or tossed salad
- Fruit salad
- Steamed vegetables or roasted
- Dinner rolls
You can truly pair anything with your pot pies if you feel you want more.
Variations for Chicken Pot Pie
- Swap chicken for turkey which is great for using up leftover holiday turkey.
- Use fresh veggies instead of frozen.
- Add in mushrooms or other veggies for more flavor.
- Skip the meat and make it vegetarian. Use vegetable broth in replace of chicken broth.
- Toss in some cheese for a cheesy twist!
What If I Don’t Have A Cast Iron Skillet
If you don’t have a skillet feel free to use a pie pan to bake your pot pie. Or even use another shaped pan if you prefer. This recipe doesn’t have to be cooked in a skillet then baked. You can always transfer to a baking dish.
How to Store Leftover Pot Pie
Place leftover pot pie in the fridge for up to three days. You will want to cover your chicken pot pie with a lid or even aluminum foil to protect it.
Then reheat as you would like in microwave or oven. If you heat up in the over cover the pan with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out as if reheats.
This skillet pot pie is such a great dinner idea. The oven will fill your home with incredible comforting flavors as it bakes away! This is a fantastic way to get your kids to eat their veggies!
