Ingredients You’ll Need!
Gather the following ingredients — it’s shopping time!
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts, if you’re a breast person)
- 1 onion, chopped (onion tears allowed)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (try not to kiss anyone after this!)
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn — whatever makes you happy)
- 1/3 cup flour (because thickening sauce is important!)
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth (liquid gold)
- 1 cup milk (moo juice)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste, but taste as you go!)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried, your choice)
- 2 pie crusts (store-bought if you’re feeling lazy, homemade if you’re feeling ambitious)
- 1 egg (for egg wash, because shiny is classy)
Directions To Culinary Glory!
Time to shine! Follow these simple steps to pie perfection:
- First, preheat that oven of yours to 425°F (220°C) and get ready to transform your kitchen into a gourmet haven.
- In a large skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until it’s cooked through. Chop it into bite-sized pieces once it’s cooled.
- In the same skillet, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they’re aromatic and dreamy.
- Add the mixed vegetables and stir everything together. Throw in the flour and stir it all like you’re stirring away your worries!
- Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring continuously. Watch as it thickens and turns into a creamy wonder!
- Season it with salt, pepper, and thyme. Taste, adjust, and rejoice!
- Spread this delectable mixture into one of the pie crusts laid out in a pie dish, then cover it with the second crust. Seal the edges like you’re wrapping up a treasure!
- Cut slits in the top crust (to let out the steam — not the magic!) and brush it with egg wash for that perfect golden glow.
- Pop it in the oven for 30-35 minutes until it’s golden and bubbly, and your kitchen smells like heaven!
- Let it cool for a couple of minutes, then slice it up, serve to your hungry diners, and watch as they dig in delightfully!
There you have it! A Chicken Pot Pie that’ll have everyone begging for seconds. Enjoy responsibly — it’s rich and fulfilling, just like your dreams!
