This House Favorite Chicken Pot Pie is deliciously buttery with a flaky crust and the most luscious chicken and vegetable filling!
Ingredients
All you need are simple ingredients.
- butter
- sliced celery
- chopped onion
- all-purpose flour
- kosher salt & pepper
- black pepper
- chicken broth
- milk
- A bag of frozen peas & carrots mix
- cooked rotisserie chicken
- store bought pie crusts
- 1 egg + 1 tablespoon of milk. Mix to make egg wash optional
How to make Chicken Pot Pie
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, onions and celery and cook until soft and translucent.
- Stir in flour, salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken broth. milk frozen carrots & peas, and cubed chicken. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. About 5 to 10 minutes. Taste for flavor and add more pepper and/or salt if needed.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool off and continue to thicken. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Line the bottom of a 9-in. pie pan with one of the pie crust. You can also make them in smaller baking dish for individual pot pies.
- Pour the chicken mixture over the bottom pie crust.
Pro Tip: Place the pie pan on a baking tray so that it’s easy to remove from the oven once it’s baked.
- Cover with top crust and seal edges, Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Optional: Brush the top with egg wash.
- Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
- Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
From start to finish it takes me about 1 hour and 30 minutes (including baking time). Not bad for a Chicken Pot Pie! If you want to make this for a weeknight meal, you could prepare the filling the night before and all you have to do is assemble the pie and bake the next day.
I actually like this method better as it allows the chicken mixture to thicken a little more and gives it a better consistency. Either way it’s delicious!
