Classic Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Print Recipe

A comforting twist on traditional chicken pot pie, this creamy pasta dish features chicken, vegetables, and a rich sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (e.g., fusilli or penne)
  • 1 lb chicken breast (diced)
  • 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup carrots (sliced)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water for later.
  2. In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken. Season with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden.
  3. Toss in the sliced carrots and peas with the chicken. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, letting the aroma of the veggies mingle with the chicken.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well, scraping any delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the pot, stirring to combine everything evenly. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve hot, garnishing with freshly cracked black pepper or parsley for a touch of color.

Notes

Consider adding mushrooms or celery for extra depth. For a vegetarian version, use chickpeas or lentils.
