Chicken Pot Pie is a rich and comforting classic featuring tender chicken and mixed vegetables in a creamy sauce, all baked under a golden, flaky crust. It’s hearty, nostalgic, and perfect for cozy dinners or feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 pie crust or puff pastry sheet (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened.
  3. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Sprinkle in flour and stir to form a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then add milk or cream, stirring until smooth and thickened.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  7. Stir in the cooked chicken and frozen peas. Let the filling simmer until heated through.
  8. Pour filling into a pie dish or baking dish.
  9. Top with crust or puff pastry. Trim and crimp edges, and cut slits in the top for steam to escape.
  10. Brush the top crust with beaten egg (optional) for a golden finish.
  11. Bake 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  12. Let rest a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie or leftover chicken to save time.
  • Make individual pot pies in ramekins or muffin tins for fun servings.
  • Swap top crust with biscuit dough for a rustic twist.
  • To avoid a soggy bottom crust, blind bake the bottom crust before adding filling.
  • Dairy-free version: use plant-based butter and unsweetened plant milk.
