Introduction

This One-Skillet Chicken Pot Pie is a comforting and easy meal that combines tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and a flaky puff pastry crust. Made entirely in a single skillet, it’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want something warm and satisfying without the fuss.

A golden-brown, flaky pie crust covers a cast iron skillet, showing a well-baked texture with slightly rough and uneven edges. The top crust has four petal-shaped steam vents near the center, through which a creamy filling with visible green peas and chunks of what appears to be chicken is peeking out. The crust has a light glaze giving it a slightly shiny surface, and the skillet's dark, rustic iron contrasts with the warm, golden color of the pie. The whole scene sits on a white marbled textured surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 tbsp Country Crock® Original Spread
1 large onion, diced
12 oz frozen vegetable medley
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup milk
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a 12-inch cast iron skillet to measure and cut the dough to size, then set aside.
Step 3: Heat the cast iron skillet over medium heat. Melt 3 tablespoons of Country Crock Original Spread.
Step 4: Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 5: Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the onion well. Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth and milk.
Step 6: Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken. Season with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
Step 7: Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen vegetables. Simmer together for another 5 minutes.
Step 8: Place the cut-out puff pastry over the skillet filling, pressing the edges to seal. Cut 2-4 small holes in the dough to allow steam to escape.
Step 9: Brush the pastry with 1 tablespoon of melted Country Crock Original Spread.
Step 10: Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra richness, use half-and-half instead of milk.
Swap the frozen vegetable medley with fresh vegetables like peas, carrots, and celery for a fresher taste.
To add depth, sprinkle some grated cheese on the filling before covering with puff pastry.
If you don’t have rotisserie chicken, cooked shredded turkey or chicken breasts work just as well.

Storage

Store leftover chicken pot pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes until heated through and the crust is crisp again. Avoid microwaving to maintain the pastry’s flakiness.

How to Serve

A golden brown pie with a shiny, crispy top crust evenly baked, slightly puffed and framed by a fluted edge held in a black cast iron skillet. The pie is plain on top except for a small sprig of green herbs placed near the center. The skillet is resting on a white and gray striped cloth, all set on a white marbled surface with sprigs of fresh green herbs scattered around softly. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh vegetables like diced carrots, peas, and celery can be used. Simply sauté them until tender before adding the liquids.

What can I substitute for puff pastry?

If you don’t have puff pastry, store-bought pie crust or biscuit dough can be used, though the texture will be different. Puff pastry gives the best flaky, golden crust.
