Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 medium, diced carrots
- 2 medium, diced celery stalks
- 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.75 cup milk
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 package (top and bottom crust) prepared pie crust
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and stir until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork. Trim any excess crust.
Cut a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Beat the egg with the water in a small bowl. Brush this egg wash lightly over the top crust for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the pot pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
