One Skillet Cheddar Chicken Pot Pie

Servings 4
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes

Equipment

  • 10 or 12 inch ovenproof skillet

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 16 ounce / 1 pound containers chicken soup (I used TJ’s kettle-cooked chicken soup)
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese I used TJ’s unexpected cheddar
  • 1 cup frozen corn or peas or both!
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 1 frozen pie crust

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in a 10 or 12 inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup and 1 tablespoon of flour and cook for 2 minutes, until a nice thick paste forms and starts to smell nutty. Stir in the LIQUID ONLY from ONE Trader Joe’s prepackaged soup, a little at a time, until completely incorporated. Then stir in the solids from BOTH containers. Do not stir in the liquid from the second container! Save it for later :)
  • Stir in 1 cup cheddar cheese and 1 cup frozen corn. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Turn the heat off when the gravy is nice and thick, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Roll a pie crust over top. If using a 10-inch skillet, you’ll be able to crimp the sides, if using a 12 inch you’ll just lay it on top. Some of the filling will no doubt bubble over top - no biggie! Cut some slits in the pie dough to let the steam escape. Spray the top of the pie crust with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. You want the pie crust to be a pale golden color (not browned - it tastes better when it’s kind of an ugly pale color, trust me!).
