Here’s how to make this Skillet Chicken Pot Pie:

Start by preheating your oven to 450°. Next melt the butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped up chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned, about 5-6 minutes.

Add the flour and whisk to combine. Slowly pour in the chicken stock while whisking continuously until all of the ingredients are well combined. Add in the frozen vegetables and Parmesan cheese (note: you can modify the amount of these ingredients you would like to add, especially the Parmesan cheese which may add more or less flavor, depending on your preference). Mix ingredients well and bring to a boil while continuing to stir occasionally.

In a separate bowl, mix up the ingredients for the biscuits. Once biscuits mix is complete, scoop and drop the mix in by rounded spoonful on top of the pot pie mixture (utilizing an ice cream scoop can be helpful).

Place skillet into the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes. Until biscuits are golden brown. Remove from oven. Melt the butter and mix with the herb seasoning mix, then top the biscuits with the herb butter.

Let the Skillet Chicken Pot Pie cool down for a bit and then dig in and enjoy!

What inspired this Skillet Chicken Pot Pie recipe?

I’ve enjoyed making a from scratch Chicken Pot Pie recipes for a long time, but making it in a skillet has been such an exciting method! It begins by selecting the best vegetables, slicing the perfect pieces of chicken, creating the best flavoring to accompany the broth, and then creating the most fluffy and tasty biscuits to bake overtop. One night as I was preparing to begin this meal, I saw I had a box of Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits and thought “I bet this would be an amazing combo!” — And it really was!

While nothing compares to the taste of a freshly baked Cheddar Bay Biscuit, this was an enhancement I didn’t know I needed in my life! My family noticed the difference and their eyes and smiles couldn’t hide how much they had enjoyed this meal!

Please Remember: You will be cooking the entire meal within a skillet which will need to bake in the oven. Please use caution when preparing, handling, and serving the meal as the skillet will be HOT!

Nope! I’d recommend making this recipe with your favorite type of homemade biscuits — Homemade, meaning made from scratch. You’ll want the dough to cook on top of the skillet with the rest of the meal to create a delicious and distinct topping to pair with all of the other flavors beneath. Keep in mind, there are other types of Red Lobster brand Cheddar Bay Biscuits, including Gluten Free, which can be a real help for anyone trying to create this recipe with food allergies or dietary requirements in mind.
