Alright, fam, let’s get cooking! Here’s how you put all this goodness together:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt that butter. Once it’s sizzling, stir in the carrots and celery, cooking them for about 5 minutes until they get a bit tender.
- Sprinkle in the flour and mix well, cooking for another minute to form a nice roux.
- Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring to combine. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens.
- Mix in the chicken, peas, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let it simmer for a few minutes until everything’s heated through.
- Roll out one of your pie crusts and fit it into your pie dish. Pour the delicious chicken mixture into the crust.
- Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges. Make some slits on top to let the steam escape.
- Pop it in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
When it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. This Easy Chicken Pot Pie will have your taste buds dancing and your heart feeling full. Serve it up with a side salad or some cornbread for that ultimate comfort meal! Enjoy, y’all!
