Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.3333 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Carrots (chopped)
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 cup Potatoes (peeled, diced)
• 0.5 cup Onion (chopped)
• 2 pieces Pre-made pie crusts
• 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet, let cool, and shred into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the diced carrots, peas, potatoes, and onion. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the shredded chicken to the sauce, stirring to combine. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by placing one of the pre-made pie crusts into the bottom of the dish.

Step 8

Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Place the second pie crust over the filling, pinching the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm, hearty Mamaw's Chicken Pot Pie!
