Tips:

  • For a classic chicken pot pie flavor, use a combination of dark and light meat chicken.
  • To make the pie crust from scratch, use a recipe that includes butter, flour, salt, and water. If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought pie crust.
  • To thicken the filling, use a roux made from butter and flour. Alternatively, you can use cornstarch or arrowroot powder.
  • For a creamy filling, use a combination of milk, cream, and chicken broth. You can also add a beaten egg for extra richness.
  • To add flavor to the filling, use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions. You can also add herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and sage.
  • To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, brush it with an egg wash before baking.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
