This Chicken Pot Pie is rich, creamy, and filled with tender chicken and vegetables, all encased in a flaky, golden crust. It’s a dish that makes you feel at home.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup peas
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, celery, carrots, and peas. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook for an additional minute to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Cook and stir for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens. Add the shredded chicken and remove from heat.
- Pour the filling into a pie dish lined with one crust. Cover the filling with the second crust, sealing the edges and cutting a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
