Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Chicken breast, diced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 sheet Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large Egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add carrots, potatoes, curry powder, turmeric, and cumin to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes to toast the spices.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to coat evenly.
Begin adding chicken broth gradually, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Once all the broth is incorporated, add coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Season the filling with salt and black pepper. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir in the frozen peas. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Transfer the filling into an oven-safe pie dish. Drape the pie crust over the top, trimming any excess dough. Press the edges to seal and crimp decoratively if desired.
Brush the pie crust with the beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish. Cut a few small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Curry Comfort Chicken Pot Pie with a side salad or fresh bread.
