Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie Recipe!
Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie Recipe is perfect for National Pot Pie Day, which happens to be today! There’s nothing more comforting than some good old fashioned comfort food. With the start of fall and the weather getting cooler, Chicken Pot Pie is one of the first things that come to mind for fall dinners as well as Chicken Noodle Soup recipe (well, besides pumpkin spice and apples!)
This is a pretty simple recipe made with only four ingredients including a rotisserie chicken and some things you might even have in your pantry.
Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients:
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded.
- 1 can mixed vegetables.
- 1 can cream of chicken soup.
- Salt & pepper, to taste.
- 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped. (optional)
- 1 container of refrigerator buttermilk biscuits.
How to make the Easy Chicken Pot Pie Recipe:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Prep your cast iron skillet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, de-skin and shred your rotisserie chicken.
Drain the liquid from the can of mixed vegetables.
Add them to the bowl of the shredded chicken.
Mix well.
Spoon in the can of the cream of chicken soup.
Stir to mix well. Add some salt and pepper to taste.
Next, scoop this mixture into the cast iron skillet.
Using the back of the spoon level the mixture in the skillet.
Open the container of the refrigerator buttermilk biscuits, separate them and place them one at a time on top of chicken pot pie mixture.
Bake at 425 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
Rinse and chop the parsley, sprinkle some on top of the buttermilk biscuits.
Update: A couple of my readers have mentioned that their biscuits were soggy on the bottom. In order to alleviate that problem, Linsay suggested preparing the biscuits separately and placing them on top after it comes out. Also, as Donna noticed, there are 11 biscuits on top. I usually have trouble separating the layered biscuits and that’s how I ended up with 11. ๐

You should never use cooking spray on a cast iron skillet. It will ruin the seasoning of the skillet. My husband almost ruined mine!
Lee
Hey Vickie! Thanks for the note. I had never heard that cooking spray was bad for a cast iron skillet. I took a look, and see that Lodge actually recommends it. Take a look Oils for Cast Iron Cooking.
Paula Christensen
This was delicious and so easy. I read the comment about it being soggy so I brought the chicken
mixture to avoid simmer before placing the biscuits on top, started at 450;for about 5-7 minutes
then turned oven to 425.
Michelle
Flipping the biscuits over half way through was brilliant! It works!
Sarah
How many does this typically serve?
Jill
Hi Sarah, I would say typically 4-5 servings, but of course it depends on how much your family eats! My husband could easily eat half of this if I let him. LOL!
Ryan
This is one of my fall and winter staples! Was so excited to bust it out for the first time this year today! I add a can of cream of potato to mine. Cook at 350 for 15 minutes then add biscuits for 15 minutes or so. Thanks for this one.
Jill
YUM! The addition of a potato soup is fantastic! I may have to try that next time myself. This is still family favorite in our home too – we could eat this one every week.
Donna Grijalva
I made this and it is super yummy. I added a package of cream cheese and 2 cups of grated sharp cheddar chese.
Jill
OOOOHHHHH cream cheese is an interesting addition! I may have to try that myself the next time I make this. Thank you for sharing this idea!
Donna
I agree biscuits cook separately. The tops of mine almost burnt while the bottoms where not cooked. Overall yummy recipe. I added a little potato, onion and cheese to mine.
Jill
HHHMMMMM cheese must be amazing in this! Will definitely try that next time too!
Laura
How could I prepare this in a Dutch oven while camping?
Jill
I have never tried this in a Dutch oven so I am not 100% sure how it would come out. The main difference would be the diameter of the cooking tool you use. A Dutch oven may be less round so the cooking time may need to be adjusted to ensure all of the ingredients are thoroughly cooked through. Other than that it should be the same in terms of ingredients and instructions.
Lora
I find it better to get everything in the cast iron skillet add a can of water stir well bring to a boil. Stir well make sure it is bubbling everuwhere on suface of pan, THEN place the biscuit on top and place in 425ยฐ preheated oven and cook for 10 minutes turn oven down to 365 lay foil over browned biscuits. Cook 10 minutes longer. This way my biscuits were cookedl
Jill
Thanks Lora! That is one awesome thing about recipes – making them your own! ๐ These tips are awesome so thanks for sharing.

Jean Gross
This says that it is Gluten Free and Paleo. I have never seen a tube of buttermilk biscuits that are gluten free…. ?????
Jill
Hi Jean, not sure if you are on the right recipe – but we do not have it listed as Paleo or Gluten Free. This is neither of those things!
Kim
Very easy recipe & easy clean-up!! Also I cooked biscuits separate and popped them on top, stuck back oven for a minute or two on the pie. Came out perfectly!
Nicole
Great dinner for a busy work day! I cooked my biscuits separate and everything turned out yummy!
Brenda Van loo
Everything in this is processed except the chicken…need I say more?
Lisa
You can add Fresh Vegetables, left over roasted chicken and a home made gravy and biscuits. All works the same. I think the point of the recipe is how nice it is to do it in a Cast Iron Skillet.
Susan Cummings
Anyone got a suggestion for an alternative to the refrigerator buttermilk biscuits? I’ve not seen those in our supermarkets in northern England and it looks like a great recipe to make when camping.
Mary Walker
I haven’t seen those but I will look and see if I can find them.
Brenda Van loo
Creasent roll dough.
Lora
I use Pillsbury layers…i believe any canned biscuit would work. As long as the can says. It tajes 15 minutes or so to cook in oven.
Lisa
Home made buttermilk biscuits would work great.
Brandy
We do this with canned Dinty Moore Beef Stew. Easy Go-To meal for a cold day. -We also cook the biscuits separate. ๐
Michael Powers
This looks like a great camping meal. A lot of the prep can be done at home and bagged ahead. I’m going to try this in a cast iron Dutch oven next time I go camping. After reading other comments, I think I’ll set the charcoal for a 325-350 oven temp.
Reinhard
Raw biscuits problem solved. Cooked the pan with the biscuits at 375 for 20 minutes. Took it out of the oven and turned the biscuits over then baked for another 12 minutes. Voila!
Jackie
Try turning the oven down to 365. You don’t cook Biscuits in a 425 oven. They will be raw if youdo.
Patti Salamone
The biscuits looked just like the picture but we’re raw on the bottom. Maybe heat the fiiling up and then pop on the biscuits toward the end? Great flavor!
Mary Walker
I’m thinking that every oven cooks differently or maybe the pan. But maybe cooking the biscuits separately and putting them on top might work too.
Donna
I’ve never seen any can of biscuits that had 11 biscuits in it!!!
Mary Walker
Lol, they don’t. I always have trouble when separating the layered biscuits and it just came out that way.
Kim B
Very easy to make. The biscuits started to burn at that temp for that long. So I shortened the time but then they weren’t all the way done. Gonna try again by adjusting the temp down. 425 for that long is too much for my oven.
Mary Walker
Maybe on a lower rack?
Lindsay
I had this problem as well. The biscuits were insanely raw on the bottom and too cooked on the top. Had this problem again when moving the rack lower. This time I just cooked the biscuits separately while I prepared the skillet, and then placed the finished biscuits on top after the skillet was out of the oven. Tasted much better!!!
Mary Walker
I just read someone else had the same problem. I’m not sure if the oven cooks differently or the pan, but that’s a great idea preparing the biscuits separately and then placing them on top. Thank you for the tip.
jan
That looks so great in that pan
April Gupton
Yum! Thank you!
Nancy Burgess
This looks delicious and so easy to make.I’m going to try it this week it’s cooler out now..
