Easy Homemade Chicken Pot Pie
With a short amount of prep time, this easy homemade chicken pot pie can be a weeknight dinner that is cozy and nostalgic
Equipment
- pie plate
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of pie dough store bought or homemade
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1 C chopped carrots
- 1/2 C chopped celery
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 C frozen peas
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 2 C chicken stock
- 1/2 C half n half
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 and have your pie dough prepared*, either store bought or homemade
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and add the onions, garlic, and chicken on medium heat. Stir until the chicken starts to brown. Add in the celery, carrots, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Sprinkle the flour over the top of everything, stirring and cooking another 3-5 minutes
- Pour the chicken stock and half n half over the chicken and vegetables and let simmer for about 10 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and the broth should be turning into a thicker sauce
- Using a small bit of butter, grease the bottom of the pie plate. Pour the chicken pot pie filling into the dish**. Beat the egg in a separate bowl
- Roll the pie dough over the chicken filling, trimming excess around the edges. Either poke holes across the top with a fork or create an x in the middle with a knife. Brush the top of the crust with the egg wash
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden. I recommend placing a cookie sheet on the rack under the pie plate to catch any of the filling that may bubble up and over
Notes
*I made this recipe with just a top crust, but you can also do a two-crust version as well. Before pouring your filling into the pie plate in step 4, roll out your first pie crust into the pan. Pour in the filling, and then continue on with steps 4-6
**Depending on how deep your pie plate is, you may need to use two pie plates to bake it all at once, or only use half the filling. If you use only half, you can freeze the second half of the filling.
