Easy Skillet Chicken Pot Pie Dinner #TastyTuesdays
This one pan Skillet Chicken Pot Pie is pure comfort food using simple ingredients. Weeknight dinner made easy!
Using what foods you have to make dinner can sometimes be a chore, especially in these challenging times when groceries are limited or shelves are bare. This is the perfect time to use up those opened bags of frozen vegetables, leftover chicken (or turkey), and a can of biscuits to make an easy chicken pot pie with biscuits.
Those ingredients are exactly what I found when I was cleaning out the freezer and refrigerator, plus a few pantry staples to complete the recipe.
The best part of this recipe, to me, is that it is a quick meal to put together and cook – all in ONE PAN. Clean-up is easy!
Tips to Make this Easy Skillet Chicken Pot Pie
Grab all the ingredients together, chop and dice your veggies and chicken (or turkey) so that you are ready to proceed easily.
I had just enough frozen mixed veggies in an open bag for this recipe plus a handful or two of frozen diced hash brown potatoes. Alternatively, you can use leftover vegetables and diced up a large potato or sweet potato, be sure precook them with the carrots, onions and celery.
If you don’t have the heavy cream, you can use half-n-half or milk.
