Ingredients
To whip up this scrumptious pot pie, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
Now, let’s get started on making your delicious pot pie!
- Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Sauté the vegetables: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they’re translucent.
- Mix in the chicken and veggies: Add the shredded chicken and mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir for a few minutes.
- Create the sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, followed by the heavy cream. Stir until the mixture thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the pie crust: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut a circle that’s slightly larger than your pie dish.
- Assemble the pot pie: Pour the chicken mixture into your pie dish and place the puff pastry over it. Trim any excess pastry and press the edges to seal.
- Add an egg wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of the pastry. This gives it a lovely golden color when baked.
- Bake the pot pie: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Let it cool and enjoy: Once done, let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy every comforting bite!
