Create a delicious and comforting Homestyle Chicken Pot Pie with a flaky crust and creamy chicken filling, perfect for a cozy meal.

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
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened.
  6. Stir in salt, pepper, and thyme. Return chicken to the skillet. Add peas and corn. Stir to combine.
  7. Pour the chicken mixture into one pie crust.
  8. Top with the second pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal and cut vents in the top crust.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  10. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra flaky crust, use a good quality butter and keep it cold when preparing the pie dough if making from scratch.
  • You can substitute other vegetables like green beans or potatoes for the peas and corn.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk.
