Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts, or your favorite homemade crust
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery to the same skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in broccoli florets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until slightly tender.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Stir in peas, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle flour over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in thyme and poultry seasoning. Remove from heat.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into the crust.
- Place the second pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut several vents in the top crust with a knife.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to swap out vegetables based on what you have on hand or prefer.
- For an extra rich flavor, you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don’t have refrigerated pie crusts, use your favorite homemade pie dough recipe.
