Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 unbaked pie crusts
Instructions for Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter to prevent sticking.
  2. 2
    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried thyme, cooking until the mixture is smooth and bubbling, creating a roux.
  3. 3
    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring a smooth consistency. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble gently.
  4. 4
    Add the cooked, diced chicken, frozen peas and carrots, frozen corn, and chopped celery to the thickened sauce. Stir well to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
  5. 5
    Line the prepared pie dish with one of the unbaked pie crusts, pressing gently to fit the dish snugly. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
  6. 6
    Place the second pie crust over the filling, crimping the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  7. 7
    Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before serving to let the filling set.
