Pot Pie 🥧🍗
Pot pie is a classic comfort food featuring a flaky pastry crust filled with meat, vegetables, and creamy sauce. Chicken is most common, but beef or turkey works too.
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken or beef, diced
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 1 cup peas
- ½ cup corn (optional)
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- ½ cup milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ tsp dried thyme
For the Crust
- 1 package pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat oven
Set oven to 425°F (220°C). - Cook vegetables
In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté onions and carrots until slightly tender. - Make the sauce
Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir 1–2 minutes. Gradually add chicken broth and milk, stirring until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. - Add meat and peas
Stir in cooked chicken (or beef), peas, and corn. Remove from heat. - Assemble the pot pie
Place one pie crust in a baking dish. Pour filling over it. Cover with the second crust and seal edges. Cut slits in the top for steam to escape. - Bake
Bake for 30–35 minutes until crust is golden brown. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Serving Ideas 🍽️
- Serve with a simple green salad 🥗
- Pair with mashed potatoes for extra comfort
- Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top
💡 Tip: For a quicker version, you can use pre-cooked frozen mixed vegetables and rotisserie chicken.
I can also provide a crockpot version of pot pie where you assemble it in the slow cooker and top with biscuits instead of a pie crust. Do you want that version?
