Make-Ahead Chicken Pot Pie image

This is a delicious, traditional chicken pot pie that I got from my mom. It is one of my favorites, and it makes two pies so you can make ahead and freeze one for up to 3 months.

Time 1h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups diced potatoes
1 ¾ cups sliced carrots
1 cup salted butter
⅔ cup chopped onion
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups milk
4 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
4 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crusts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place potatoes and carrots into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Slowly stir in flour and thyme. Slowly stir in broth and milk; bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, peas, corn, and potato-carrot mixture.
  • Place a pie crust in the bottom of 2 pie plates. Fill each with 1/2 of the pot pie mixture and cover with the remaining pie crusts. Cut slits in the top of each crust, and press a fork around the edges to seal. Freeze one pie.
  • Bake one pot pie in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

I'm not a fan of chicken pot pie, but my husband is. He loved this recipe, and I have to admit that it was pretty good. The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful.

This chicken pot pie was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper to the filling, and it was much better.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the crust and the filling was too runny. I'll stick to my old chicken pot pie recipe.

The filling was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good. I'll try adding more broth next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still came out perfect.

This chicken pot pie recipe is a lifesaver! I'm always short on time during the week, so being able to make it ahead and freeze it is a huge plus. And, it tastes just as good as if I had made it fresh.
