This chicken pot pie is a comforting and delicious dish that combines tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and creamy sauce, all encased in a flaky, buttery crust. Perfect for a cozy family dinner.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery, and cook until onions are translucent.
Stir in flour, salt, and pepper until well blended. Gradually stir in chicken broth and milk, cooking until thickened.
Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas, mix well, and remove from heat.
Roll out the pie crusts and line the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan with one crust.
Pour the chicken mixture into the crust-lined pie pan.
Top with the second pie crust, seal and flute the edges, and cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
This homemade chicken pot pie is perfect for using up leftover chicken and vegetables. To make it extra special, try brushing the crust with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
