A creamy, chicken and vegetable studded filling is topped with biscuit pieces and baked until bubbly and golden brown. This family-friendly Skillet Chicken and Biscuit Pot Pie is an easy, comforting weeknight dinner choice.
I was recently informed by one of my boys that I have not made enough chicken pot pies in his lifetime. I thought this was a very wise observation on his part so I set upon changing that by whipping up this super easy chicken and biscuit inspired version that I think you’re all gonna love.
It’s easy as all get out thanks to a trusty store-bought rotisserie chicken and a canister of buttermilk biscuit dough. But most importantly, it is really, really good. As a matter of fact, I believe that chicken-pot-pie-deprived child of mine’s exact words after he tried it were “I’m obsessed”.
I’m hoping you will be too!
The traditional pot pie filling includes the usual suspects – onion, carrot, celery, and peas, but I also added some frozen corn. The fun thing with recipes like this is that you can add in any veggies your family loves.
I think mushrooms or chopped broccoli florets would both be a fabulous addition.
It’s made from start to finish in one 12″ skillet; starting out on the stove top and finishing off in the oven to create the golden brown biscuit crust.
Check out the quick video in this post to see how it’s done.

What’s the reasoning behind using frozen peas and corn and fresh for the other veggies? Is it possible to use all fresh?
Valerie says
Sure! The reasoning is just to make it easier. Frozen peas and corn are kitchen staples that are easy to stock all year long.
Susan Spaits says
Awesome!!
Beginner cook says
How do i adjust this recipe to cook and Include raw chicken instead rotisserie?
Valerie says
You would need to cook the chicken before adding it to the recipe.
Collette says
This was phenomenal. I added 3 minced garlic, because I add garlic to literally everything. This was delicious and insanely easy to make!
crystal malcom says
Do you use all frozen veggies for the carrots and all or fresh? This looks delicious!
Valerie says
Hi Crystal. I use fresh carrots and celery and frozen peas and corn.
Kathleen Parker says
I don’t have any oven proof skillet so can I mix up the veggies in a regular skillet and then put in an aluminum pan in the oven? Thank you
Valerie says
A skillet is preferred but I think it might work out okay. Let me know if you try it.
