Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 Carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 3 cups Cooked chicken, shredded
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Pie crust, refrigerated or homemade
- 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix with the vegetables.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour over the mixture, and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to evenly coat the vegetables and chicken.
Gradually pour in 2 cups of chicken stock while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer until it thickens slightly, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of peas, 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
Transfer the filling to a deep 9-inch pie dish.
Roll out the pie crust, if needed, and lay it over the top of the dish. Trim any excess crust, and crimp the edges to seal.
Cut a few small slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top of the crust with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish when baked.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills, and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
