Easy Chicken Pot Pie
Gather your ingredients and let’s get started on this delicious journey!
### Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, and green beans)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion 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 saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and onion powder until well blended.
- Gradually add the chicken broth and milk to the mixture, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
- Add the cooked chicken and frozen vegetables to the saucepan, mixing until everything is coated with the creamy sauce.
- Now, roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the chicken mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the top of the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil.
- Once baked, allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm and hearty chicken pot pie!
This Easy Chicken Pot Pie is not only simple to make, but it’s also a fantastic way to use up leftover chicken. Each slice is packed with flavors, and the creamy filling combined with the flaky crust is just heavenly. Perfect for family dinners or cozy nights in!
