A delicious recipe for a crustless chicken pot pie. Using frozen biscuits on top of the traditional chicken pot pie filling make this a perfect, fast and easy comfort meal!

Here are the words that frequent my recipe searches lately: “healthy”, “easy”, “one-pot”, “simple”, “fast”… noticing a theme here? 😉 I guess I’ve realized I just don’t have the patience (or time really) for recipes that require 40 minutes of prep or that use every dish in my kitchen!

So in the spirit of fast and easy, here is my take on a favorite comfort food – chicken pot pie. I’ve made it easy by using rotisserie chicken, frozen vegetables, and frozen biscuits for the topping. You can prep and bake it in a single dish. Plus there’s no fake stuff (like cream of chicken soup… what is that stuff anyway?) It comes together in about 10 minutes… now we’re talkin’!

And did I mention it is delicious? I adapted it from Ree’s pot pie recipe in the original Pioneer Woman Cookbook, so you know it’s gonna taste great. I got this cookbook as a wedding present years ago and it is one of my favorite cookbooks of all time.

Ok, on to the recipe…

How to make the Crustless Chicken Pot Pie Filling

First chop up the chicken and medium sized onion while you heat up your cast iron skillet (any oven-safe skillet or dutch oven will do). Then melt some butter in the pan. Is it just me, or is there something beautiful about butter melting in a cast iron skillet? Might just be me.

 

Then add your bag of frozen veggies, onion, and garlic to the skillet. I like this dish packed with veggies, but you could always cut back and only use part of the bag.

 

After the veggies are cooked through add the flour, chicken, chicken broth, spices and half & half. You could always use milk instead and sometimes I do. Just let that all simmer until it starts to thicken.

Then add your still-frozen biscuits to the top and pop it in the oven. If you use pie crust you won’t have to bake it as long – about 15 minutes, or until the crust starts to turn a golden brown.

And there you have it! According to my husband, it is the best crustless chicken pot pie he’s had. Hope you give it a try!
