Chicken Pot Pie! Delicious, so easy to make and it all comes together in one pan! You’ve got to try this recipe!
It’s finally starting to warm up a little here in Madison (supposed to be in the 60’s this weekend!) but I always find myself constantly cold and wearing layers around the house. Sweat pants or yoga pants, a big oversized sweat shirt, thick wool socks and my house slippers. Sometimes, I even bundle myself up with a few blankets on the couch.
I’m waiting for spring to get here so I can start running outside and finally pack away all of my winter clothes. Until then, I’m all about warm, comfort food.
Nothing says comfort food to me more than chicken pot pie.
I’ve loved chicken pot pie ever since I was a little kid. Back then, Marie Callender’s was it. Now, I’d rather make it myself so I know exactly what’s going inside and so I can cut back a little on the heaviness. And with this recipe, it’s so easy! Everything cooks in one pan and you throw some puff pastry on top and bake it! Couldn’t be easier!
And thanks to this cookbook, One-Pan Wonders from Cook’s Country (America’s Test Kitchen), I am set with one pan recipes for life!
When you think about cooking dinner, pots and pans, a lot of prep work, and cleanup are probably quick to come to mind. Even a seemingly simple meal can call on using the stovetop and oven, plus one pan for something and another pan or two for something else. This fresh, modern collection of more than 140 recipes makes the most of your skillet, sheet pan, Dutch oven, casserole, roasting pan, and your slow cooker to deliver dinner with minimum fuss . . and less pans!
In this new cookbook, America’s Test Kitchen streamlines some of your favorite meals! Like sheet pan dinners? This cook is for you? And slow cooker recipes and one pot recipes? This book is for you! I can’t wait to try the Chipotle Beef Chili Bowls with Lime-Cilantro Crema, their Korean Beef and Kimchi Stir-Fry and the Chickpea Tagine!
I don’t know about you but one pan = less dishes for me to wash, which makes me very happy. And who can say no to a recipe like this?! I am so making this next!

COOKBOOK GIVEAWAY
Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 carrots peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 2 celery ribs cut into 1/4‑inch pieces
- 1 onion chopped fine
- Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thigh meat, trimmed
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 1 9 1/2 by 9‑inch sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter in 12‑inch oven safe skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in broth, scraping up any browned bits and smoothing out any lumps, and bring to simmer.
- Nestle chicken into skillet. Reduce heat to low to maintain gentle simmer, cover, and cook until chicken registers 160 degrees and sauce has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through cooking.
- Transfer chicken to cutting board, let cool slightly, then shred into bite-size pieces. Stir shredded chicken, peas, cream, parsley, and sherry into skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Filling can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; return to simmer and add broth to loosen sauce if necessary.)
- On clean, lightly floured counter, roll puff pastry into 12‑inch square. Loosely roll dough around rolling pin, then gently unroll it over filling in skillet, letting excess dough hang over edge. Cut four 2‑inch oval-shaped vents in center of dough, then brush dough with egg mixture. Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating skillet halfway through baking.
- Remove skillet from oven (skillet handle will be hot). Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes for the cook: I omitted the heavy cream and dry sherry and used chicken thigh meat and I think the chicken pot pie turned out great!
Arroz con pollo!

We do not have one particular favorite one-pot recipe, but we do make variants of One-Pot Chili Mac or One-Pot Chili Mac and Cheese recipes more than others one-pot recipes
Fajita recipes, such as Chicken and Pepper Fajitas, would probably be our go-to one-pot meal, but we have been tempted to try a Pizzadilla recipe because it is simple to make and uses only one pan
Luv this cookbook and Cook’s Country TV show.
Yay for the warm weather! It’s’ supposed to be in the 60s here too..I can’t wait! Chicken pot pie is the definition of pure comfort food to me, so this looks amazing. I wish I had this for dinner tonight!
I make this fresh veggie pasta one pan meal that we love.
This book looks awesome!! I love making anything in my Dutch oven. My fav though is a mushroom chicken sour cream wine concoction. It tastes like heaven!! Served with rice, its my go to.

My family loves baked spaghetti! So sinful!!
Skinny enchilada casserole.
I showed my husband your post about the new test kitchen cookbook Monday night. Coincidentally, he gotten me an older test kitchen cookbook for Valentine’s Day!
I love making Palak in one pan, but it takes an hour so it’s not as often a dinner as I want.
Balsamic roast beef …so delicious…or is it pasta and sauce? Too many to pick just one but this chicken pot pie might be on the list. Definitely making this. Though I have never had good luck with puff pastry. Any tips?
This sounds amazing! Definitely going to try making this.
Make a quick hamburger steaks with mushrooms and onions
I’ve only made one, one pot meal to this day (if you don’t include soups/stews/chilies/sloppy joes…maybe I have made a few!) and I absolutely loved it! One pot zucchini & mushroom pasta from @damn_delicious was a hit! I am trying this chicken pot pie this Sunday & cannot wait!! Thanks for sharing!!
Your one-pot beef stroganoff recipe is my family’s new favorite. It has saved me so much time and energy! I can prepare a healthy and delicious meal and still attend to my two littles. Thank you!
Hooray!!! Thank you for letting me know! 🙂
I’ve been trying out one pot pasta dishes. Our new favorite is Bacon Parmesan Pasta with spinach. It combines all my youngest son’s favorites…pasta, bacon, and parmigiana reggiano. Plus a little spinach to make me feel like he’s getting a vegetable :).
I love Chicken pot pie! How easy with puff pastry (something I forget about but should try…soon).
Chicken and Dumplings is my favorite one-pot dinner!
I recently made a One Pot French Onion Pasta (recipe by Joy the Baker) that is absolutely delicious!
That pot pie looks amazing! One pot meals are a life saver at the end of a long day.
Anything that is one pot or one pan is my favorite! I love roasting veggies and potatoes and then adding in a protein!
Mac and Cheese one pan recipe! Love it so very much!
I live in LA, and sometimes I long for a few cold nights to justify cozy food. Your headline caught my attention because I heard a storm was coming and I’m so excited! (Ok, I know I verging on obnoxious here, sorry). Then, you said “one pan” – I’m so sold. I’m making this one this weekend. Thanks!
I like to make what I callHomeburger Helper. It includes a protein, vegetables, pasta, and sauce. I prepare it pretty much the same way as Hamburger Helper, just with my own ingredients instead.
What a perfect chicken pot pie – love that golden topping!
Love the idea of simple one – pan dinners. My favorite is ddukbokki, for sure.
My favorite recipes to make are those in one pan. I often make sweet potato hash – it uses so so much from the fridge and the version I make is a complete meal.
There’s a fantastic peanut sauce chicken stir fry I’ve been making almost weekly
I’ve been wanting this cookbook, thanks for a chance to win it!
This looks amazing! I feel like every recipe from the Cook’s Country kitchen is a winner!
My favorite one-pot wonder — especially in cooler weather — is crock-pot soup. Especially turkey or chicken soup made from a leftover carcass. Yum!
Spicy grilled shrimp & fried potatoes is my favorite one-pan meal!
That cookbook looks great! I am actually making chicken pot pie RIGHT now for my little guy.
My favorite go-to one pan meal is Lemon Rosemary Chicken with Potatoes!
Tarte Tatin! But that’s the only one-pan recipe I know, so I need the cookbook!
My favorite one-pan recipe is pot roast with lots of potatoes and carrots.

Turkey chili, but this Chicken Pot Pie recipe sounds great too!
Roast chicken and sweet potatoes is my favorite
I love making pea soup
mushroom pasta
Posting a review on this chicken pot pie. It was a HUGE hit!! Will definitely be a staple from now on. I had shredded chicken to use up so that sped up the cooking time a bit. Also, we did not have sherry on hand and it was still delicious!! I cannot wait to make this again. Thanks for sharing!
