This Vegetarian Skillet Pot Pie is a veggie loaded twist on the classic chicken pot pie! It’s filled with tons of vegetables – and chickpeas in place of chicken –  in a quick herb cream sauce and topped with refrigerated biscuits, making it the perfect one pot weeknight dinner! This is vegetarian comfort food at it’s finest!

Notes

  • If you don’t have an enameled cast iron pan (like the one pictured in this recipe) that can go from stovetop to oven, you can just cook the filling on the stove in a regular pan, and then transfer it to an oven-safe baking dish to bake the biscuits and finish the dish. But this pan is seriously my favorite, and also pretty affordable so if you’re in the market, I’d highly recommend it! It’s incredibly durable and you’ll notice that it’s the pan I use in all my one pot recipes (like Mushroom Stroganoff, Skillet Chicken Parmesan Casserole, and One Pot Mac and Cheese).
  • Be sure to just gently place the biscuits on TOP of the filling, don’t press them into it. The biscuits will cook all the way through on the top and get nice and golden brown, but the bottom part that’s touching the pot pie filling will remain a bit soft and will end up almost like the texture of a dumpling. This is how it’s supposed to be! I am quite averse to anything remotely soggy, and actually really enjoyed the dumpling texture on the bottom of the biscuits! You could also bake the biscuits separately on a baking sheet by themselves and then add them to the pot pie after they are fully baked through.
