Appliances and Special Utensils

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. Prepare Filling: In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Cook and stir until the mixture is bubbly and forms a paste, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. Add Liquids: Gradually stir in the chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken, frozen peas and carrots, and frozen corn to the skillet. Stir to combine well. Remove the skillet from heat.

  5. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust-lined pie dish.

  6. Top with Second Crust: Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any overhanging edges and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

  7. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a nice golden color when baked.

  8. Bake: Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the chicken pot pie from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious, homemade Chicken Pot Pie!
