Description
A comforting Chicken Pot Pie recipe that combines tender chicken, mixed vegetables, and a creamy filling, all encased in a flaky pie crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 cup carrots, diced
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the flour, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles.
- Add the cooked chicken and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers. 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. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a creamier filling, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the mixture before pouring it into the pie crust.
- To make it a bit healthier, substitute the butter with olive oil and use whole wheat pie crusts.
