What you do first think of when you hear the words Skillet Chicken Pot Pie? It immediately makes me think of comfort food, like meatloaf and mashed potatoes. At first glance, this recipe may seem like it has a lot of ingredients, but actually most if not all of these ingredients, you may have readily available in your pantry. This recipe is much lower in sodium than a frozen chicken pot pie. It also has only one crust instead of two which also makes the recipe healthy. You can also customize the ingredients to include your favorite vegetables.
