Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup potatoes, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade, if preferred)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the carrots and potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add the cooked chicken, frozen peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine, then remove from heat.
6. Transfer the filling into a 9-inch pie dish. Roll out the pie crust and place it over the filling, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
7. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
9. Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade chicken pot pie!

Tips for the Best Results

• For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth.
• Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before adding it to the filling.
• Let the pot pie rest for about 10 minutes after baking; this helps the filling set up nicely.

Easy Variations

• Swap out chicken for turkey or cooked sausage for a different flavor.
• Add mushrooms or corn for extra texture and taste.
• Use a puff pastry crust for a flakier, more decadent topping.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Roasted vegetables for a colorful side.
• Garlic bread for soaking up any extra filling.
