- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

- Stir in the diced carrots and cook for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the flour to the vegetable mix, stirring well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Fold in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken filling into the crust.
- Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Optionally, brush the top with a little milk or beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Keep these tips in mind for a delicious chicken pot pie:
- Make sure to let the filling cool slightly before adding it to the crust to prevent sogginess.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, you can increase the flour to 1/2 cup.
- Experiment with different herbs like sage or parsley for added flavor.
- If you’re short on time, use rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the chicken for turkey or even a plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
- Add in other vegetables like corn, green beans, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For a spicy kick, incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños.
What to Serve With It
Pair your chicken pot pie with:
- A simple green salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Mashed potatoes for a comforting side.
- Steamed broccoli or green beans for a healthy touch.

Store leftover chicken pot pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in a microwave or warm the entire pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
