This Chicken Pot Pie Pasta recipe is the ultimate comfort food mashup—rich, creamy, and packed with tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and perfectly cooked pasta, all made in one pot for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sautéing chicken)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sauce)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 cups uncooked short pasta (rotini, penne, or bow ties)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, and corn)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Melt 2 more tablespoons of butter in the pot. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of flour and stir to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then gradually whisk in 3 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of cream. Stir until smooth and thickened.
  4. Stir in the pasta along with the cooked chicken. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer until the pasta is cooked and has absorbed most of the sauce, about 15 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese until melted and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to loosen it up.
  7. Ladle the pasta into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Keep an eye on the pasta while it cooks to prevent sticking and ensure the sauce doesn’t dry out—add more broth if needed.’, ‘Dice your chicken and veggies before you start cooking to make the process seamless.’, ‘Taste as you go and adjust the salt and pepper to your preference.’]
