Puff Pastry Chicken Pot Pie

You already know I love rich, creamy, easy chicken recipes for dinner. They're a huge part of my blog, after all.

Dishes like this creamy chicken pasta and Marry Me chicken pasta are usually my go-to, but I switched things up with this puff pastry chicken pot pie loaded with tender chicken and veggies under a flaky puff pastry crust.

It's a full meal that pairs perfectly with a sweet treat like these chocolate chipless cookies or pumpkin carrot cake for dessert.

Key Ingredients

You'll find a complete list of ingredients and their exact amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Heavy Cream and Chicken Broth: Cream and broth create a flavorful filling that's thick but not gummy.
• Chicken Strips: I use Springer Mountain Farms fully cooked chicken breast strips. It drastically cuts down on time, and the company never uses added hormones, antibiotics, or animal by-products in its feed.
• Seasonings: A blend of rosemary, thyme, sage, paprika, and salt gives the filling a classic, aromatic flavor.
• Puff Pastry: I love using Gluten Free Easy puff pastry. Just like the name says, it's easy to use, and it tastes great.

Variations

• Chicken: You can use chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe. For more flavor, try using my air fryer rotisserie chicken in the filling. Of course, turkey makes a great turkey puff pastry pot pie!
• Other Meats: Use cubed beef, pork, or seafood to create a variety of pot pies.
• Fillings: I like to use the sauce from recipes like my chicken garlic parmesan pasta or blackened chicken Alfredo to make unique pot pie flavors. Just leave out the noodles and add frozen veggies!
• Traditional Puff Pastry: Feel free to use regular puff pastry if you don't have any gluten issues.
• Extra Creamy: Reduce the broth by ½ cup and add an extra ½ cup of cream for a super-rich filling.
• Spicy: Add some red pepper flakes for a nice kick of heat.

How to Make Puff Pastry Chicken Pot Pie

1. In a cast-iron skillet, sauté the vegetables over medium heat in butter until soft. Then, add the seasonings and continue cooking until fragrant.

2. Add the flour and stir well. Then, stir in the heavy cream until smooth and add the chicken broth, stirring again. Bring to a slight simmer and add the frozen peas as the sauce begins to thicken.

3. Add the chicken breasts and stir.

4. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into small rectangles.

5. Top the pot pie filling with the puff pastry strip until fully covered. Then, brush it with egg wash.

6. Bake at 425°F until the filling is bubbly and the puff pastry is golden brown.

Expert Tips

• ONLY use a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet. If you don't have one of these, you can use a regular skillet to make the filling, then bake it in a 9x13 baking dish.
• Whisk the filling constantly while adding the heavy cream to avoid lumps.
• I recommend cutting the puff pastry into strips rather than applying a single sheet for easier eating.
• Cut the puff pastry into strips while your filling simmers, so everything is ready to go at the same time.
