Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 refrigerated 9-inch pie crusts, at room temperature, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅔ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup butter
1 clove garlic, minced
⅓ medium onion, diced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
⅔ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place 1 pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Poke several holes in the bottom of the crust.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken breasts with rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and saute until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add 2/3 cup chicken broth. Simmer, being careful not to overcook, just until chicken juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, allowing it to cool until the juices settle, about 15 minutes. Reserve pan drippings.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pan drippings and garlic. Saute until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion, salt, and pepper and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour until mixture thickens.
  • Add 1 3/4 cups chicken broth and milk, 1 cup of liquid at a time, whisking constantly. Remove from heat once mixture begins to thicken.
  • Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and mix with thawed vegetables and broth mixture until combined. Pour into the pre-baked pie crust. Cut slits in the remaining pie crust and place it on top of the pie, crimping the edges to seal and decorating them with tongs or a fork, if desired.
  • Place pot pie in the oven and bake until crust is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Check edges halfway through baking time and cover them with aluminum foil if they start to brown too much.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your pot pie. Some good choices include carrots, celery, peas, and corn.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thin, add a little cornstarch or flour.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. A good quality pie crust will make all the difference in the final product. You can either make your own pie crust or use a store-bought one.
  • Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown. This will take about 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:

Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning, you can make a delicious chicken pot pie that your whole family will love.
