One Pot Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Pasta Recipe
This is what happens when I’m left to my own devices, I cook more pasta. I think I was Italian in my previous life, because I could eat pasta for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love pasta so much that I even made this chicken pot pie pasta, which if I may say so myself, tastes just like freaking pot pie. Score! Now if I really had my way I probably would have stuck a pie crust over the top of this dish and throw it in the oven, but that would have been carb overload and hubs might have thought I truly went bonkers. Not that I’m far off. At the risk of sounding crazy, I actually used my chicken pot pie recipe to make this and just adjusted it. And made it all in one pot! I mean let’s be serious here, how can you not love one pot meals, granted some dishes should take a long time and require lots of pots but let’s leave those for the weekend or when you have lots of time. In the meantime this is a perfect dish to throw into your weekly rotation as it’s quick, relatively mess free, and freaking delicious!
Pasta – You can use whatever you like for this dish! I prefer to use a small shaped pasta for this dish like penne, rigatoni, mini shells, etc. Egg noodles are also another great option. Butter – I prefer to use unsalted butter to control our salt level but if you only have salted butter use that. Chicken – I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs cubed into bite sized pieces. If you prefer chicken breasts, feel free to use those. Veggies – Onion, celery, carrots, and peas. The pot pie classics! Flour – I used all purpose flour today, this will act as our thickener in the sauce. Liquids – I used low sodium chicken broth and white wine. Be sure to pick up low sodium broth so as to control the salt content of our dish! Herbs – Chopped fresh parsley and rosemary. Some thyme would also work great in this dish. Seasoning – Salt and pepper to taste.
No need to boil the noodles separately for this easy recipe! The entire dish is cooked in just one pot and is a delicious complete meal.
Sauté The Veggies
To get the dish started, melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Then add the chopped onions, celery, and carrots to the pot and cook them for about 5 minutes or until they are both soft. Note, it’s important that you cook them long enough to soften up but not turn to mush, so do keep an eye on them.
Brown The Chicken
Next, add the chicken thigh pieces to the pot and season them with salt and pepper to taste. Then cook them for 5 to 7 minutes or until no longer pink. Also, to create more flavor, you’ll want to make sure you brown the chicken evenly on all sides.
Add The Pasta And Make The Sauce
Okay, now let’s get this one pot pasta really going! Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables in the pot. Then stir to combine and cook the mixture for about a minute to remove some of the raw flour taste. Next, add the rosemary, white wine, chicken broth, and pasta. Then if you like, season with more salt and pepper to taste. Now, cook the pasta over medium low heat for 15 minutes while stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Add Peas And Finish The Dish
After cooking the dish for 15 minutes, add the frozen peas to the pot. Then stir everything together to combine and cook the pasta for another 5 to 10 minutes or until it’s cooked to your liking.
Garnish And Serve
Once the chicken pot pie pasta is done cooking, sprinkle it with some fresh parsley or even some Parmesan cheese and serve it along with some yummy warm Potato Bread and a fresh Tossed Salad.
What Wine Is Best For Cooking?
When making a dish like this that calls for white wine, try to choose something a bit drier that still has some good flavor. For this I like to use something like a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio, although that is even pushing it a bit on sweetness. Keep in mind that if you wouldn’t want to drink the wine, you probably won’t want to cook with it.
Prefer To Keep It Booze Free?
If you’d rather keep your kitchen alcohol free then just sub out the called for amount of wine with more low sodium chicken broth.
What Else Can I Mix Into Pasta?
This pasta is really easy to mix up and customize depending on what you need to use up in your fridge. I mean it won’t make you pot pie pasta authentic, but this is a riff on a classic anyways!
Ground beef or turkey Sausage Bacon Corn Broccoli Tomatoes Cabbage or kale Mushrooms
Leftovers
Properly cool the pasta before storing it, so that it will freeze and store evenly. It will stay fresh for 3 – 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Frozen pasta dishes will last for 2 – 3 months in the freezer, just be sure to allow to thaw fully in the fridge before reheating.
