Description

A cozy, one-pan version of classic chicken pot pie with tender chicken and vegetables under a golden puff pastry crust.


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1½ cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 3 medium Yukon potatoes, peeled and diced small
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and celery for 4 minutes until softened.
  3. Add chicken pieces and season with half the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and thyme. Cook 6-7 minutes until mostly cooked through.
  4. Add frozen vegetables and potatoes. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, remaining salt, and parsley until well combined.
  6. Cover with puff pastry, tucking edges into the skillet. Brush with beaten egg and cut 3-4 slits in center.
  7. Bake 40-45 minutes until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  8. Cool 8-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a 12-inch oven-safe skillet for best results
  • Cut potatoes smaller than usual for even cooking
  • If pastry browns too quickly, tent with foil during last 15 minutes
