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. 😀

One-Pot Italian Chicken and Orzo
Laura says
This was a very easy and delicious meal! The whole house smells like fresh baked pot pie! Turned out perfectly. I added about a half cup of peas to mine as well, for colour and to get more veggies into the kids (and hubby too!!). Will defiantly make again. Yum!
Sarah says
I’m so happy that this pasta was a hit with your family, Laura! Thanks for letting me know!!
Jen says
Hi,
I am having people over for dinner this week and this looks like a hit except for the fact I have to be dairy free, what do you think the best milk substitute would be? Or should I just skip this recipe all together?
Thanks!
Sarah says
Hi Jen! You could use unflavored almond milk in this recipe! It might change the flavor slightly, but it would still be delicious!
Erin Sutch says
Sarah, we gave this a try tonight and it was a crowd pleaser! It will definitely be added to our dinner rotation!
Heather says
I have fresh gluten free fettuccini at home. If I put it in later on in the recipe, do you think it will work? This sounds delicious!! Thanks!!
Sarah says
Yes, that would work, Heather, however you might need to reduce the chicken broth a little bit to compensate for the fresh fettuccine. The pasta will also only need a very short cooking time.
Alissa says
Made this with left over roast chicken, almond milk (dairy allergies) and spaghetti noodles because that’s what I had on hand. Came out delish!
Sarah says
So glad to hear it, Alissa! Hope you enjoyed!!
Andrea says
Really really really bland. I added Parmesan but it wasn’t enough to save this dish. It needs more veggies – peas, corn, green beans – and it desperately needs some seasoning – poultry seasoning or Italian seasoning or thyme and nutmeg – garlic salt and pepper are not enough. Even my kids disliked it and said it had no flavour. Looks good in theory, but this is not tasty. Great method, but needs a lot of tweaking. I won’t make it again.
Sarah says
Hi Andrea, I’m sorry to hear you had issues with the flavors of this pasta. I would recommend upping the amount of seasoning in the recipe if you choose to make it again as most of this recipe is seasoning to taste.
Rebecca says
Absolutely delicious! Makes lots of leftovers! Do you think this recipe would freeze well?
Sarah says
Hi Rebecca – so happy to hear this recipe is a favorite! We haven’t tried freezing this recipe ourselves, but you can definitely try it! We would recommend cooking the noodles to al dente so they don’t turn mushy when frozen/reheated.
