Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken, peas, and carrots to the skillet. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the chicken filling into the crust.
- Cover the filling with the second pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil.
- Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade masterpiece!
