Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
A creamy and comforting chicken pot pie with tender chicken, vegetables, and a flaky golden crust that delivers classic flavor in every bite. It's the perfect cozy meal for any night of the week, packed with protein, veggies, and buttery goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 recipe Homemade pie dough chilled, makes 2 crusts
- 1 lb Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ⅓ cup Butter
- ½ cup Celery sliced
- ⅓ cup Onion chopped
- ⅓ cup All-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Celery seed
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Chicken bouillon paste or substitute 1 bouillon cube
- 1 cup Milk
- 8 oz Frozen mixed vegetables carrots, peas, green beans, corn
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
- Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Place it in a pot and cover with water. Simmer until just cooked through, about 12–15 minutes. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces. Reserve 1 ¾ cups of cooking water.
- In the same pot, melt butter and sauté the onions and celery until soft. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, celery seed, and bouillon. Slowly add reserved broth and milk, stirring until thick and creamy. Add cooked chicken and vegetables. Let it cool slightly.
- Roll out the bottom pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Add the filling. Roll out the top crust and place it on top. Crimp edges and cut a few slits in the top.
- Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk and brush over the top crust. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 40–50 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cover with foil if browning too fast.
- Let the pie cool for 15–20 minutes before serving to help the filling set.
Notes
- Letting the filling cool before assembly prevents a soggy crust.
- Keep your dough cold for the flakiest texture.
- Don’t skip the egg wash — it gives your pie that perfect golden finish.
- You can prepare the filling or full pie a day ahead to save time.
- Avoid overfilling the pie to prevent bubbling over.
