Classic Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

This chicken pot pie features a creamy filling made with chicken, carrots, peas, and potatoes, all baked in a golden flaky crust. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 6 people.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup peas
- 1 cup potatoes, diced
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cook the Vegetables: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and potatoes, and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly tender. Stir in the peas.
- Make the Filling: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Add the shredded chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Pie: Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken filling into the crust. Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush the top with beaten egg.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
