Classic Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
For the Filling:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie or boiled works)
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup potatoes, diced (optional)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk or cream
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp dried thyme or poultry seasoning
For the Crust:
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade, enough for top and bottom)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
2. Prepare the Filling
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Sauté onions and carrots for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Stir in flour to make a roux, cooking 1–2 minutes.
- Gradually add chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly until thickened.
- Add chicken, peas, potatoes (if using), salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Pie
- Roll out pie crust for the bottom and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
- Pour filling into the crust.
- Roll out the top crust and cover the pie, sealing edges.
- Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.
- Brush top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
4. Bake
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
- Let cool 5–10 minutes before serving.
Tips for a Perfect Chicken Pot Pie
- Vegetables: You can swap or add celery, corn, or green beans.
- Chicken: Rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the pie and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
💡 Pro Tip: For an extra flaky crust, brush melted butter over the crust halfway through baking.
If you want, I can also make a “quick one-skillet chicken pot pie” that’s faster, uses a single pan, and still tastes like a classic pot pie 🍗🥧.
