Chicken Pot Pie Skillet Pasta Recipe - quick and easy weeknight dinner idea! Pure comfort food and so much easier to make then a pie.
When it comes to comfort food, one of my family's favorite dinners is chicken pot pie. But here is the thing: I am not a pie maker. I've said it before. I am too much of a perfectionist to attempt making a pretty crust. And the chicken pot pie? It has a double one. So yeah, not happening. But what I can do, is a skillet pasta version of the pie. Heck, yeah! Creamy, delicious dish with wide noodles, chicken, peas, sweet corn, carrots and green beans, all served with oyster crackers.
Chicken Pot Pie Skillet Pasta is now one of those dinners that I can make in my sleep. It's easy, it has all of the flavors of the classic and I can make it in 30 minutes.
Oh, and did I mention the BACON? Because there is bacon!
I had to add bacon! This dish was just calling for it. It adds one more flavor to the mix and who can say no to bacon. I know I can't!
Can I make it ahead of time?
You can make this ahead of time, place in a casserole dish, cover and refrigerate. When ready, sprinkle with cheese or breadcrumbs OR BOTH and bake until bubbly. Done and done. Dinner on the table. Everybody loves it. 🙂
Busy weeknight dinner made easy!
You can serve this pasta with oyster crackers like I did OR make one of my biscuit recipes. I will link them below! The fluffy drop biscuits are my very favorite (again, one of the easiest recipes ever!) or skip it all.
Enjoy, friends!

This was amazing! I was worried the sauce wouldn't thicken but it did and it was so good! I served with ciabatta bread. Perfect recipe!

I love that this doesn't have a crust!

Oh, this has SO been pinned. I'm a huge chicken pot pie lover, but it's definitely not the kind of thing you make every night or on a weeknight at all. This dish I can get behind!
