More About This Recipe

  • Why are cast-iron skillets so amazing? Because they're perfect for making an entire chicken pot pie! Rustic, easy, and delicious, this Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie is comfort food at its finest. Do you want me to know what's in this pot pie? Besides the chicken part? Kale. Baby pearl onions. Green Giant veggies. Peas. Love. So you'll grab a bag of Green Giant Veggie steamers! We used Nature's Blend. Also get some frozen pearl onions and peas. Nuke those pearls real quick. Just to thaw 'em some. Then just cook your ingredients and gently lay a refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crust over the cast iron skillet. You can pinch the edges like a pro if you want, but I left mine sloppy. I MEAN rustic. Bake and enjoy!
