Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Crust:
- 1 sheet of store-bought or homemade pie crust (or puff pastry, if preferred)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes until combined.
- Gradually add chicken broth, stirring constantly, until smooth. Stir in cream, thyme, and rosemary. Let it simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Add cooked chicken, peas, and corn to the sauce, stirring until well combined. Season to taste.
- Assemble the Pot Pie: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour filling into a pie dish. Roll out the pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Brush the crust with beaten egg for a golden finish and cut small slits in the crust for steam to escape.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use a mix of cream and milk.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like potatoes or green beans.
