  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • ½ cup celery, sliced
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups chicken broth
  • ⅔ cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pot pie.
  2. Cook Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced carrots and sliced celery, cooking for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  3. Make Sauce: Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, mixing well to avoid lumps.
  4. Season and Thicken: Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Simmer the mixture until it thickens into a creamy gravy.
  5. Add Chicken and Peas: Stir in the cooked chicken and peas until everything is evenly combined. Remove the skillet from heat.
  6. Prepare Pie Crust: Place one refrigerated pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit the shape of the dish.
  7. Fill Pie: Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the crust-lined pie dish, spreading evenly.
  8. Top with Second Crust: Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Seal the edges by pressing them together, then cut small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  9. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken is a convenient option that adds great flavor and saves time.
  • You can add other vegetables such as corn or mushrooms for extra variety.
  • If the crust browns too quickly while baking, loosely cover the pie with foil to prevent burning.
  • Leftover pot pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
