Description
This comforting and creamy chicken pot pie is the perfect meal for cozy nights. Packed with tender chicken, a medley of vegetables, and a buttery, flaky crust, it’s a dish that warms the soul and satisfies the taste buds.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 pre-made pie crust (or 2 if top and bottom crust are desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
- Slowly add chicken broth and milk, whisking until smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in chicken, peas, carrots, corn, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the filling into a pie dish.
- Place the pie crust on top of the dish, trimming the edges as necessary. Cut a few slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with more vegetables like potatoes, mushrooms, or a combination of both.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese into the filling for a cheesy twist.
You can freeze the assembled pie before baking. Just wrap it tightly and store for up to 2-3 months.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
