Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup potatoes, diced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 pre-made pie crust (or 2, for top and bottom)

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the diced carrots and potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
5. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
6. Add the shredded chicken, frozen peas, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well and remove from heat.
7. Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the crust.
8. If using a second crust, place it over the filling, seal the edges, and cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape. If using a single crust, leave it uncovered.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding the flour to create a smooth base.
• For a deeper flavor, consider adding garlic or a splash of white wine when cooking the vegetables.
• Let the filling cool slightly before adding it to the crust to prevent a soggy bottom.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the chicken for turkey or even a plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
• Add other vegetables such as corn, green beans, or bell peppers for extra color and nutrition.
• Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or parsley to change the flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A simple side salad with vinaigrette to balance the richness of the pot pie.
• Steamed green beans or broccoli for a touch of freshness.
• Crusty bread to soak up any leftover creamy filling.
