Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.5 cup frozen corn
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sheets store-bought or homemade pie crust dough
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside to cool, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form. Simmer until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced chicken, peas, corn, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
Roll out one sheet of pie crust dough and press it into a deep-dish pie pan, trimming any overhang. Pour the chicken filling into the crust, ensuring an even layer.
Roll out the second sheet of pie crust and lay it over the filling. Trim the edges and crimp the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to achieve a golden brown finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pot pie to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
