Keeping it simple but delicious with this one Skillet Chicken Broccoli Pot Pie with Garlic Butter Phyllo Crust. Definitely not your average pot pie. I took a tried and true classic and upped the flavor with caramelized shallots, fresh herbs, broccoli, and the most delicious flaky garlic and herb butter phyllo dough crust. Every bite melts in your mouth. Not only is this pot pie delicious, it’s also a cozy one pot and done recipe. Perfect for both fall and winter nights ahead.
Did you ever see a prettier pot pie? It’s all about that flaky garlic and herb buttered phyllo dough crust. This crust is just beyond delicious, and it takes an average one skillet pot pie to a whole new level. You guys, this one is good. Really good!
And clearly, I am really excited to share this. It’s a recipe I’ve been dreaming up for well over a year now. I guess it all started a few years back when I shared these autumn chicken and phyllo dough mini pot pies. I used phyllo dough as the crust for these mini pies. And it’s these pies that ended up being the inspiration for today’s recipe.
Well, those pies and my mom…my mom loves chicken pot pie. The recipe in the Half Baked Harvest Super Simple cookbook is one of her favorites. But today’s pot pie might just beat that one out. Again, it’s this crust. It’s just the most delicious way to top your pot pie. Trust me.
This is one of those recipes that literally warms the soul. I know, so cheesy, but it’s true. If the weather is cold and dreary, or you just need something to make you feel warm and cozy inside, this recipe is for you.
This one skillet pot pie is easy. Everything from the chicken to the creamy buttery sauce is all made in the very same skillet.
The recipe starts out a lot like a chicken soup recipe. I used shallots, thyme, and sage to really give the pot pie sauce flavor. Once the herbs have cooked, add in a good amount of chicken broth, then slide in the chicken and vegetables. Let everything simmer until the chicken has cooked through and the sauce has turned creamy.
If you happen to have already cooked chicken on hand, you can totally toss that in to save time. I never seem to have cooked shredded chicken on hand. Therefore, I always find it easiest to cook the chicken within the pot pie sauce. It ends up adding more flavor too!
For my vegetable mix, I like to use carrots, celery, and lots of fresh broccoli. If you’d like to make this with all vegetables, I would just omit the chicken and instead add mushrooms. That would be delicious I’m sure!
While the sauce is simmering away, start assembling the phyllo dough crust, which yes, is the true star of this pot pie. As I said, this crust is so delicious and gives this pie an extra special touch. It’s flaky, buttery, a touch garlicky, and layered with fresh autumn herbs.
If you’ve never worked with phyllo dough, don’t let it scare you. Promise it’s easier than you think. First, you can find phyllo dough in the freezer isle around the same area as th
e frozen puff pastry. You want to thaw the dough on the counter for an hour or so, then it’s ready to use!
Simply mix up a quick garlic herb butter. Then brush each sheet of phyllo with the butter as you layer them into a circular shape This does not need to be perfect, but use the photos above as a guide!
The phyllo dough gets cooked directly over the pie, making this a one pot and done kind of recipe. It takes a little time from start to finish, but nothing is too tricky and the time is worth it.
As soon as you pull this one out of the oven, you know it’s going to be good. The sauce underneath the crust is bubbling away and smells similar to a slow cooked chicken soup. But the flavor and texture are much richer and creamier.
And that crust…it’s golden, flaky, and just the prettiest. It immediately gets you excited for dinner.
I have yet to meet anyone who hasn’t loved this dish on a cold, crisp night. It’s warm, cozy, and perfect for eating while snuggled up on the couch, wrapped in a cozy blanket, or cozied up by the fire. I know, I sound like a real cheese-ball here, but it truly doesn’t get any better.

Amazing Tiegan as always! My husband made it for me! Loved it!
Hey Glenn,
Awesome!!🌼 I love to hear that this recipe turned out well for you and appreciate you giving it a try! xT
Hi, I’ve made this before and we loved it. I’m wondering if I could make it ahead for a dinner party. Any suggestions please? Thanks!
Hey Melissa,
Happy Monday!! I appreciate you giving this recipe a try and sharing your review, so glad to hear it turned out well! Sure, I would just make up until baking and then bake when you are ready to serve! xT
This is delicious! I will say refrigerating it makes the dough soggy so leftovers aren’t the best. Right out of the oven it was very good!
Hey Kate,
I truly appreciate you giving this recipe a try and sharing your feedback, love to hear that it was enjoyed!❄️ xx
I made this recipe tonight. It was simple and oh so flavorful! It’s a keeper! I didn’t have Phyllo dough so I used regular piecrust.
Hey Lee,
Happy Friday!! Thanks a lot for making this recipe and sharing your feedback, I love to hear that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Tieghan,
I tried the recipe in your super simple cook book & loved it! There was just one problem – the broccoli turned my pot pie green! Haha at least I can laugh about it now. My question is: How did you make it without the broccoli turning it green? I think I chopped the broccoli too much maybe? Need your help!
Hey Courtney,
Thanks for giving the recipe a try, sorry to hear about the broccoli! My only guess is that you may have chopped it up too much! xTieghan
Could this be made in pie plates? Would need to double the recipe…
Hi Christine,
Yes, that should work well for you! I hope you love the recipe and happy holidays! xTieghan
Hey, Tieghan! I haven’t made the recipe yet (planning to tonight!); but can you advise on a sub for the white wine just in case I can’t secure a bottle! Thanks!
Hey McKenzie,
You can use broth in place of the wine. I hope you love this recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
Highly recommend this recipe, turned out exactly like the photo! I did add a little flour because we like thicker sauce. I also did not add the cayenne.
Hey Skip,
Happy Sunday! Thanks a lot for giving this recipe a try, I am so glad to hear it was enjoyed! xTieghan
I did my own pie crust but used the filling recipe and it was PERFECT. Thank you!
Hi there! Thanks so much for trying out this recipe, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 xTieghan
Made this chicken pot pie tonight for dinner…. Me and my boyfriend both agree, best pot pie we’ve ever had!!!! Can’t wait to make more recipes 🙂
Hi Deidra,
Happy Sunday!! Thanks so much for making this recipe, I am so glad to hear that it was enjoyed! xx
This was one of the worst pot pies I have ever made
Zero stars
Do not waste your money on ingredients
Very disappointed
Hi Sara! I am so sorry this recipe didn’t work out for you, is there anything I can do to help? xTieghan
This sounds ABSOLUTELY delicious. I cannot wait to try it!
Hey there! Hope you love this recipe! xTieghan
This was delicious. It was more liquid than I expected. I might cut down the broth next time to change it up. All the butter in the crust melted onto my oven floor and set off the smoke detector. Nevertheless, a keeper!
Hey there! So glad you enjoyed this recipe, thanks for giving it a try! xTieghan
I agree! I just finished it an hour ago and thought I did something wrong. Flavor is good but mine is soupy inside…
Made this last night. We loved it! I have made so, so, so many of your recipes, and each one is delicious. Thank you so much!
Hi Melissa,
Awesome!! Love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
We made this tonight. So delicious. The herbs really came through.
Hey Laurie,
Thanks so much for giving this recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Happy Monday! xTieghan
I am not a pot pie person, but this recipe has converted me. It was rich and comforting, yet somehow still felt healthy with all the warm chicken and veggies (perfect for clearing all the random veg left in the crisper). My husband raved for a week and I’ll be making it again tonight. Thanks for another winner Tieghan! ❤️
Hey Leslie,
I am so glad that you liked this recipe, thanks for giving it a go! Happy Friday? xTieghan
