Easy Chicken Pot Pie
This classic dish combines tender chicken, hearty veggies, and a flaky crust that will make your taste buds dance. Trust me, this recipe is as easy as pie!
### Ingredients:
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (you can totally use leftover chicken, too)
- 2 cups mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn - whatever you love)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 2 ready-made pie crusts (store-bought or homemade – no judgment here!)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is key for that crispy crust.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it’s melted, stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, until it’s golden. You want a light roux to make your filling nice and creamy.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly. Cook until it starts to bubble and thicken up. You’re aiming for a smooth gravy-like texture – just the way we like it!
- Add in the shredded chicken, frozen veggies, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir well until everything’s mixed and heated through.
- Grab your pie crusts. Place one in a pie dish and scoop that delicious chicken filling right in there!
- Cover with the second pie crust, seal the edges, and cut a few slits on top to let the steam escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. The smell in your kitchen will be amazing!
- Let it cool for a few minutes after you take it out of the oven. Slice it up, serve, and watch everyone dig in!
And there you have it—an Easy Chicken Pot Pie that’s sure to be a hit at your next family gathering or cozy dinner night! Enjoy, and don’t forget to save some for later. Happy cooking!
