Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1 cup diced potatoes (peeled)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 pre-made pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion and garlic over medium heat until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the carrots and potatoes to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until they begin to soften.
4. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually add the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the heavy cream, cooked chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
7. Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
8. Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
9. Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use leftover rotisserie chicken for an even quicker option.
• For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the filling.
• Ensure your vegetables are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
• If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with foil during baking.

Easy Variations

• Swap out chicken for turkey or even a mix of vegetables for a vegetarian version.
• Add mushrooms or corn for extra texture and flavor.
• Experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or parsley, to enhance the taste.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Steamed vegetables to complement the dish.
• Garlic bread for a hearty addition.
• A side of mashed potatoes for an extra comforting meal.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pot pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual servings, but the crust may not remain as flaky.
