Chicken Pot Pie just got easier with this easy skillet version made with homemade gravy, shredded chicken breast, and refrigerated biscuits!

In the winter one food that I love to eat is chicken pot pie. There’s just something warm and comforting about that flaky crust filled with vegetables, chicken, and homemade gravy. The problem with chicken pot pit is that it takes a while to make and it has a ton of calories in it.

Both of those things are fixed in this Easy Skillet Chicken Pot Pie recipe. There’s no need to make homemade pie crust or wait an hour until this meal is cooked. Also, because there are just biscuits on top instead of a double crust there are a lot less calories in this version as well.

This is a great recipe if you are looking for something to do with leftover rotisserie chicken or just extra shredded chicken you have from another meal. I didn’t have any chicken leftover so I just cooked a few chicken breasts and chopped them up once they were cooked.

Ingredients:

butter
onion
garlic
flour
chicken broth
milk
salt and pepper
thyme
cooked chicken breast
frozen peas and carrots
refrigerated biscuits

Before you begin making this recipe make sure you preheat the oven because this recipe goes fast. From beginning to end it’s ready in under 30 minutes.

You start by melting the butter in a pan. Then you add the onion and saute until it begins to get tender. Add in the garlic and stir for a minute or until it’s fragrant.

Next I put in the flour and whisk it until a roux forms. Then I added in the chicken broth and milk and heated it until it had thicken into a gravy. At this point add in salt and pepper and whatever seasonings you want. I only added thyme because I like the flavor of the chicken and vegetables to shine through but you can add a variety of spices.

Finally I added in the cooked chicken, peas, and carrots and cooked for just a few minutes. Then simply put the refrigerator biscuits on top of the entire thing and bake it until they are golden brown.

This is a really delicious and easy way to have chicken pot pie on a weekday. No need to be in the kitchen all afternoon, just whip this up and bake!

Pro Tips and Substitutions:

You can certainly whip up your own biscuits to put on top of this but using the refrigerator biscuits is a total time saver.
Substitute in leftover cooked turkey if you don’t have chicken.
If you don’t have cooked chicken you can just cook 2-3 chicken breasts in a pan with an inch of chicken broth in it then either shred it or dice it. Either works for this recipe.
Add in any other vegetables you like in pot pie. Good additions are potatoes (boiled ahead of time), celery, corn, or frozen green beans.
