Tag: Easy chicken pot pie recipe
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
2 cups cooked chicken (diced or shredded)
2 cups mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh, such as peas, carrots, and corn)
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced celery
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
For the Crust:
1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (contains 2 crusts)
OR you can make your own pie crust from scratch
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and celery, and sauté them until they become translucent and soft.
Stir in the flour to create a roux. Cook for about a minute, stirring constantly, until the mixture is lightly golden.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, making sure to break up any lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add the cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using). Stir everything together until well combined. Let the filling simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit more chicken broth or milk to reach your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside.
Unroll one of the pie crusts and place it in the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish.
Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the pie dish.
Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the top of the filling. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
If you like, you can cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the chicken pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade comfort food!
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding your favorite herbs and seasonings to the filling or by using leftover turkey instead of chicken. Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that’s perfect for a cozy family dinner.
