Chicken Pot Pie Skillet Pasta

Chicken pot pie skillet pasta is a comforting dish that blends the flavors of a classic chicken pot pie with the ease of a one-pan pasta meal. Instead of a pie crust, I’ve added shell pasta that is cooked directly in a rich, creamy sauce made with chicken broth and evaporated milk. The sauce thickens as it cooks, giving the dish a hearty, velvety texture.
