For me, chicken pot pie ranks up there near the top of my list of favorite winter comfort foods. A good creamy, flavorful filling topped with flaky pie crust? Count me in! If I had to guess, I’d say I make chicken pot pie in some form or another at least once a month during the colder months. (And since we live in upstate New York, we get a lot of those colder months!)
From a classic chicken pot pie to a soup version to even individual chicken pot pies, that recipe for chicken pot pie filling is never far away. Last summer, I stumbled across the idea of a Sheet Pan Chicken Pot Pie on Food Network’s website. How I landed on that page in the middle of the summer is completely confusing…but I did.
Since we were in the middle of grilling season, I put that recipe on the back burner until it got colder. And now it’s colder frigid. (On a side note, can you grill chicken pot pie? I need to try this next summer!)
Sheet Pan Chicken Pot Pie
I started with Food Network’s concept for this Sheet Pan Chicken Pot Pie, but I used my own filling. I’m not one for messing with a good thing, and this pot pie filling is good great! I also reduced the amount of puff pastry in this recipe. Their version called for 2 boxes of puff pastry. Now I love a good flaky puff pastry crust, but 2 entire boxes!? I went with 1 box, and it was perfect.
This chicken pot pie is crust-forward in the best way possible. The tops of those puff pastry strips get nice and golden brown in the oven. The bottoms soak up a bit of the extra liquid from the filling. Together, those strips are fantastic! I might have peeled a strip off and eaten it by itself as soon as these pictures were taken. Just sayin’.
When it comes to chicken pot pie, I like to use rotisserie chicken because (1) it’s easy and (2) it’s flavorful and (3) it’s easy. In fact, we keep bags of chopped rotisserie chicken in the freezer all the time. Whether it’s for a batch of soup or something like this Sheet Pan Chicken Pot Pie, those pre-chopped bags of rotisserie chicken come in quite handy!
Aside from the chicken, the list of other ingredients for chicken pot pie is pretty simple:
- a bit of unsalted butter
- diced onions
- flour
- seasonings (salt, pepper, ground cumin and smoked paprika)
- liquid (chicken broth and milk)
- vegetables (carrots, celery, peas and corn)
If you’re looking for one heck of a delicious comfort food recipe for winter, put this Sheet Pan Chicken Pot Pie on the list. It’s creamy. It’s delicious. It’s crust-forward. Oh, and it looks pretty cool when you pull the sheet pan out of the oven. Enjoy!
