Chicken pot pie meets pizza in this over the top comfort food mash-up! I bet you can’t stop after one slice!
How many times have you made or ordered a pizza with the best intentions of only eating one piece only to find yourself three slices deep 10 minutes later. Yeah, that’s basically what happened when I made this Chicken Pot Pie Pizza.
I knew it was going to be a struggle to limit myself to one slice of this comfort food gone crazy pizza, but I felt strong going into it. I filled half my plate with salad and ate that first thinking it would help fill me up so I wouldn’t gorge on the pizza. But then I took my first bite of delicious hybrid pizza and I knew I was in trouble.
It had everything I love about chicken pot pie in it. The creamy sauce, the peas, carrots, and corn, the chunks of chicken, did I mention the creamy sauce? Then as if the flavors of the pot pie weren’t enough I went ahead and piled it all on pizza dough and topped it with not one, but two kinds of cheese! Did you even know that gooey mozzarella and salty parmesan cheese make chicken pot pie 10 times more amazing? Well you do now!
After I finished my first slice of heaven, because basically that’s what this pizza is, I told myself I could have just one more slice. I ran hard that morning, so dammit I deserved it! The second slice was more or less inhaled rather than eaten slowly and savored with a fork.
I stared intently at the remaining pizza realizing it was almost gone because my husband was already a slice ahead of me and appeared to not be stopping anytime soon. I glared at him refusing to let him get the rest of this glorious pizza. Now it was a competition and I don’t back down lightly. I snatched that third piece of pizza and ate it with gusto! Sure I could hardly breathe because I was so full and yes I did go lay on the floor in a food coma, but trust me when I say that this chicken pot pie pizza is worth it.
Chicken Pot Pie Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 large cooked boneless skinless chicken breast, diced or sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 diced carrot
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup low fat milk or milk of choice
- 1/3 cup frozen peas
- 1/3 cup frozen corn
- 1 1/2 cups shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- Flat leaf parsley and fresh thyme for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450° F.
- In a medium sized saucepan over medium high heat melt the butter. When the butter is melted add in the diced onion and carrot, salt, pepper, and thyme. Sautè the onion and carrot for about 3 minutes until they have softened.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir together until combined then let it cook for another minute. Slowly pour in the broth and milk whisking the entire time. Continue to whisk the sauce for another 3-4 minutes or until it becomes thick.
- Once the sauce has thickened add in the frozen corn, peas, and diced chicken and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- Roll out the pizza dough onto a prepared pizza stone or baking sheet. Pour the chicken pot pie mixture onto the pizza dough and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the top of the pizza with the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with chopped fresh thyme and flat leaf parsley if desired. Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing it.

Made this last night and wow! this is now my new favorite pizza, everything was perfect I didn’t have to change anything and it was a HUGE hit! I just found your blog and I love it, will be making more of your recipes for sure :)
Thanks so much Shelby! I love hearing when readers have success with a recipe. This was one of our favorite pizzas as well, it’s especially nice in the fall and winter when you get that chicken pot pie craving! :-)

Thank you!
What a genius idea….this sounds amazing! I always use Pillsbury pizza dough (in the tube) when I make pizza It’s very good. I can spread it out to cover a cookie sheet, and to make an edge. It calls for a few minutes of baking before you top it, and then you bake the entire topped pizza for the recommended amount of time. Would that work ok with this recipe? I’m very anxious to try this Chicken Pot Pie Pizza, especially since my guys are crazy for Chicken Pot Pie.
Hi Angela! I’ve never used Pillsbury pizza dough, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I would just do like you said and bake it for a few minutes before topping it with the sauce and other toppings. I hope you and your family enjoy the pizza, we love it!
Now this is a cool pizza!!!
It is pretty darn cool Julianne! Thanks so much!
You come up with the best flavor combinations for pizza!
Thanks Jessica! It’s probably one of my favorite things to make and eat!
This is genius! That creamy sauce looks amazing! Actually, the whole pizza looks awesome! I could definitely find myself three slices into that pizza too!
Thanks Serene! I definitely went a little hog-wild when I was eating it! ;-)
