Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup (diced) carrot
- 1 cup (diced) celery
- 1 cup (diced) onion
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 cup (grated) parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them thinly into rounds. Place the slices in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning. Drain and dry them thoroughly before use.
In a large pot of salted water, boil the potato slices for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden on the outside and fully cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from the pan, shred into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced carrot, celery, and onion. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add the heavy cream, thyme, garlic powder, and another pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Remove from heat.
Transfer the chicken filling into a greased 9-inch pie dish.
In a small bowl, mix the grated parmesan cheese and milk. Lightly toss this mixture with the cooked potato slices to coat them.
Lay the potato slices in a single overlapping layer on top of the chicken mixture to form a crust.
Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes before serving.
