Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked boneless chicken, diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Crust

  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade, standard size)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Cook diced onions and garlic in butter over medium heat until soft and fragrant. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for a minute to remove raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens into a smooth, creamy sauce. Add cooked chicken, peas, carrots, and corn to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
  2. Assemble the pie: Roll out one pie crust and place it in your baking dish. Pour the prepared filling evenly over the crust. Cover the filling with the second pie crust, trim any excess dough, and press the edges together to seal securely. Cut small vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  3. Bake to perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled pie on the middle rack and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the vents.
  4. Let it rest: Remove the pot pie from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes. This helps the filling to set, making it easier to slice and serve without spilling.

Notes

  • Use leftover chicken such as rotisserie or baked chicken to save time.
  • Don’t skip cutting vents on the top crust to avoid sogginess from trapped steam.
  • For a shiny, golden crust, brush the top with a beaten egg before baking.
  • Keep pie dough chilled and handle it minimally for a flaky crust.
  • Use fresh or frozen vegetables; avoid canned for best flavor and texture.
