Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup potatoes, diced
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 package (14 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until slightly softened.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
5. Slowly add the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Stir in the shredded chicken, peas, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
7. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
8. Cover the filling with the second pie crust, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Let the pot pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

To ensure your Chicken Pot Pie turns out perfectly:

• Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
• Don’t skip the resting time after baking; it helps the filling set.
• Experiment with herbs like rosemary or parsley for added flavor.
• For a crispy crust, brush the top with an egg wash before baking.

Easy Variations

Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your taste:

• Swap in different vegetables like corn, green beans, or bell peppers.
• For a lighter version, use milk instead of heavy cream.
• Add a splash of white wine for a depth of flavor.
• Make it a pot pie with a biscuit topping instead of a crust.

What to Serve With It

This Chicken Pot Pie pairs wonderfully with:

• Simple green salad with vinaigrette
• Garlic bread or dinner rolls
• Steamed broccoli or green beans
• A glass of chilled white wine

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through, about 20 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions, but the crust may not stay as flaky.
