A hearty and comforting creamy chicken pot pie that’s perfect for family meals, featuring tender chicken and vegetables in a flaky crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery ribs, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 large egg (beaten with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place one pie crust into a deep 9-inch pie dish. Keep the second crust in the fridge until you’re ready to top the pie.
  3. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes until the veggies have softened.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until it’s fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables. Cook for another minute to create a smooth base.
  6. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Then add the heavy cream and keep stirring until it thickens up, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked chicken, frozen peas, corn, salt, black pepper, thyme, and parsley. Mix until everything is coated beautifully.
  8. Spoon the filling evenly into your prepared pie crust.
  9. Cover it with the second crust, trim and crimp the edges, and cut small slits in the top to let steam escape.
  10. Brush the crust with the egg wash for that golden finish.
  11. Bake in your preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
  12. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For best results, don’t rush the thickening process and consider serving with a side salad or garlic bread.
