Delicious Chicken Pot Pie
This homemade chicken pot pie is rich in flavor and easy to make. Here’s what you’ll need:
### Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper until well combined. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Cook while stirring until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken and peas and continue to stir until everything is well incorporated and heated through.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
- Cover with the second pie crust, pinching the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade chicken pot pie!
