- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1/2 cup diced potatoes (optional)
- 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

- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
Now, let’s get to cookin’! Follow these simple steps to whip up your pot pie:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Stir it up to create a roux.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in the milk and continue to cook until the mixture thickens.
- Add in the shredded chicken, frozen veggies, and diced potatoes. Mix everything well and remove it from the heat.
- Roll out one pie crust and lay it in a pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
- Top with the second pie crust, sealing the edges well. Cut some slits in the top crust to let steam escape. Brush the top with the egg wash for a golden finish if you like!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Dig in and enjoy!
This chicken pot pie is perfect for any gathering or just a cozy night at home. It’s all about that homemade goodness, family, and bringing a little love to the table. Serve it warm and watch your loved ones savor every bite. Happy cooking!
