🛒 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.
