This skillet chicken pot pie with puff pastry is the perfect dinner for a cold night – it’s so cozy and comforting. The creamy filling, with tender chicken, carrots, celery, and leeks, simmers under that flaky and golden crust. If you’re craving comforting food, this pot pie recipe is for you.
In my world, chicken pot pie is one of the best comfort food dinners to ward off the winter chills. I like to make it on a weekend when there’s time to prep some veggies, simmer them in a creamy sauce with chicken, and top them with the easiest pot pie crust ever: puff pastry. It’s the coziest kind of cooking, and the reward is breaking through the golden, flaky crust to get to the hearty filling inside.
I’ve fiddled with my recipe over the years, and this skillet chicken pot pie recipe is my favorite these days. It’s less fussy than other versions I’ve made, using just a skillet, a simple filling, and a super easy crust.
