🛒 Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 🐓 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 🧅 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 🥕 1/2 cup carrots, diced
  • 🥬 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • 🥔 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
  • 🧈 2 tbsp butter
  • 🥣 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 🥛 2 cups chicken broth
  • 🥛 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 🧂 1/2 tsp salt
  • 🌶️ 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 🌿 1/2 tsp thyme (optional)
  • 🥦 1/2 cup frozen peas

For the Crust:

  • 🍞 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust or puff pastry
  • 🥚 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

🔥 Instructions:

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables:

  • Heat the butter in an oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches) over medium heat.
  • Add the onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

3️⃣ Make the Filling:

  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the cooked chicken, peas, salt, pepper, and thyme. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

4️⃣ Top with Crust:

  • Roll out the pie crust and place it over the skillet, tucking in the edges. Cut a few small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with beaten egg.

5️⃣ Bake:

  • Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

6️⃣ Cool & Serve:

  • Let the pot pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Scoop into bowls or serve directly from the skillet.
