Description

A comforting and classic chicken pot pie featuring tender chicken and vegetables in a creamy sauce, all encased in a perfectly flaky, golden-brown crust. This recipe is a timeless favorite for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
  • 1 cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium)
  • 1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts (from a 14.1-ounce package)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the same skillet. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  6. Stir in thyme, rosemary, cooked chicken, peas, and corn. Cook for 2-3 minutes more, until heated through. Remove from heat.
  7. Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the crust.
  8. Place the second pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an even flakier crust, you can use homemade pie crust.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or potatoes.
  • If you prefer a richer sauce, you can use half-and-half instead of milk.
