Unbelievably creamy fettuccine that tastes like chicken pot pie in pasta form! Made in one pot and ready for the dinner table in only 35 minutes.
There are just not enough exclamation points in the entire English language to properly describe what insanity we’re doing to chicken pot pie today in the space of only one pot.
You might even recognize the plain facts by now that I clearly have a maniacal obsession with chicken pot pie all.the.things.
In all the potato skins. In all the casseroles. And in all the creamy fettuccine glory. ♥
Don’t try to stop me because there is NO parting a girl away from her one comfort food love.
Okay, I have multiple cozy food loves right now, but never mind. Today is chicken pot pie, tomorrow it might be bread…later tonight it might be brownies…
Like I said, never mind. 🙂
So friends, what do you think? I’m fashionably late as always, but lookit’ that! I finally boarded the made-completely-and-totally-in-ONE-pot-and-one-pot-only pasta train.
My consensus on this particular subject is that there shall be no going back. We’re riding this train forever.
Before I forget, tell me: how are y’all liking the dinner series so far? Today is day TWO in the pantry staples series and I’m pumped because comfort food + carbs + basic ingredients + lighter on the calories, yo! = a very happily-ever after dinner, indeed.
Here’s how it goes down: The chicken and veggies get sauteed in your most heavy duty-est pot. Then in goes the flour, chicken broth, milk, and pasta. Let that cook happily away 25-ish minutes, stirring every so often, then come back and be astonished at the complete creamy pasta wizardry that has taken place before your very eyes.
Because really, magic is the only word that properly sums up this pot of gorgeousness.
How much more win can a Tuesday get, friends? Possibly even more if said one pot of dreamy pot pie goodness were to meet my fork.
Like my fork, straight into the pot and not employing the use of plates or my dignity.
You get me. 😀

Brenda says
Before deciding to make this recipe I looked for any feedback about anyone else who has made it. But, all I found were comments about how yummy it looks. I went ahead anyway, a little concerned about cooking dry pasta in the dish with all the other ingredients, concerned it would be goopy. Well, unfortunately this recipe was goopy and pretty tasteless. It doesn’t taste anything like pot pie, even though I added a bit if thyme and extra parsley. I’m not sure if you’re interested in honest reviews of your recipe or if you’ll just delete this, but I thought I’d leave my feedback and let you decide to keep it here or not.
Sarah says
Thank you for the honest feedback, Brenda! I’m so sorry that this pasta didn’t turn out quite right for you—it sounds to me as though you overcooked the pasta a little bit and that’s what made it gloppy. As far as the flavors go, it sounds like you didn’t use quite enough salt to season the pasta.
Brenda says
Pasta was definitely not over cooked. I think it was more that the starch from the pasta, which is usually drained off when you cook pasta alone, stayed in the dish. You’re probably right on not salting enough, but I would consider seasoning with some other herbs next time such as thyme, maybe a little poultry seating, sage, etc, which are often found in pot pie. I believe this would give it more of a pot pie flavour.
Kerry says
Rather than proper chicken broth, I dissolved some chicken bullion instead (it’s what I had on hand at the time), which seems to have solved the not enough salt problem there.
Jeri says
Hi. Thank you for this recipe!!! Can I use 1 1/2 pounds of chicken? If so should I add more chicken broth or and milk? Thank you!
Sarah says
Hi Jeri! Yes, you might want to add a little additional broth if you’re using more chicken.
Jeri says
Hi Sarah ! Just a quick thank you! For such a awesome recipe. My family and friends enjoyed this so much. I will make this many more times! I added sum flaky biscuits on top. Was a hit! Just wanted to tell you thank you for the great recipe!
Sarah says
I’m so glad to hear that you and your family loved this pasta, Jeri! I love the sound of adding biscuits on top!
