This One-Skillet Chicken Pot Pie is my clean comfort food dream come true.

It’s warm, creamy, full of tender chicken and veggies—everything you love about traditional pot pie. But instead of a heavy, processed crust and loads of butter, this version keeps things light, wholesome, and way easier. One skillet. Real ingredients. No rolling pins required.

I started making this during the fall when I was craving cozy meals but still wanted to eat clean. It quickly became one of my favorite weeknight dinners. And yes—my whole family devours it.

Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded

• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

• 1 small yellow onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 carrots, diced

• 2 celery stalks, chopped

• 1/2 cup frozen peas

• 1/2 tsp dried thyme

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free cream alternative

• 1 tbsp arrowroot or cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (to thicken)

For the Biscuit Topping:

• 1 cup almond flour or whole wheat flour

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp sea salt

• 1 egg

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp almond milk or regular milk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened.

3. Stir in the chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Greek yogurt and arrowroot slurry. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.

4. In a bowl, whisk together all biscuit topping ingredients until a thick batter forms.

5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter on top of the chicken mixture. Smooth slightly, but don’t worry about perfection.

6. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden and cooked through.

Why I Love This Dinner

It’s rich, comforting, and just feels like a big warm hug in a bowl. But instead of the processed, heavy version I grew up with, this one is full of nourishing ingredients that don’t leave me feeling weighed down.

When I was learning how to bring comfort food back into my clean eating lifestyle, this was one of the first recipes that helped me believe it was possible—and honestly, it’s still one of my favorites.
