Make this classic, comforting chicken pot pie with a creamy filling and a golden, flaky double crust. This recipe is perfect for a satisfying family dinner and uses simple ingredients for an authentic taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges if necessary.
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Reduce the heat to low.
  5. Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
  6. Pour the creamy chicken filling into the bottom pie crust.
  7. Place the second pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  8. Brush the top crust lightly with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  10. Let the chicken pot pie cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an even quicker meal, use a refrigerated, pre-made pie crust.
  • If you prefer a biscuit topping instead of a double crust, skip the top crust and drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the filling before baking.
  • Using leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken saves significant preparation time for this comfort food dinner.
