Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 package pie crusts (or homemade, if you feel ambitious!)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and onion powder until smooth. This is where the magic starts!
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Don’t rush it; let it come together nicely!
- Add in the cooked chicken and mixed vegetables. Stir everything together until it’s well combined. Your kitchen should be smelling heavenly right about now!
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust. Top it off with the second crust, sealing the edges. Make sure to cut a few slits in the top to let steam escape.
- Brush the top with a beaten egg to give it that golden color. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. This gives the filling a chance to set up a bit!
And there you have it! A delicious homemade chicken pot pie that’ll have everyone asking for your secret recipe. Enjoy and share the love!
