The Ultimate Comfort Crust: Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Done Right
🥕 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
For the Filling:
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp dried thyme or rosemary for extra flavor
For the Crust:
  • 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (2 rounds), or make your own from scratch

🍲 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or cast iron skillet.

2. Make the Filling

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Stir in the flour to coat the veggies and cook for another minute. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer and let the mixture thicken, stirring frequently. Add chicken, peas, and herbs (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Pie

Place one pie crust into your greased dish. Pour the filling into the crust and spread evenly. Top with the second crust, seal and crimp the edges, and cut a few slits in the top to vent steam.

4. Bake

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

Let the pie sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for that perfect spoonful of flaky crust and creamy goodness.
