Chicken Pot Pie

| Print |
Written by Haneeda   
A truly delicious pot pie with a buttery crisp crust and creamy chicken and vegetables. I made 2 pot pies – one with a puff pastry crust and another with a pie crust. The puff pastry crust sure disappeared even before I could take a picture!

Ingredients:

4 cups cooked chicken (chopped or shredded)
1 /2 cup frozen green peas
1 cup potato – cut in cubes
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup celery diced (fresh or frozen)
1 cup chopped carrot (fresh or frozen)
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
salt – to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 ready made pie crusts or puff pastry sheets

Preparation:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Heat the butter in a non-stick pan and sauté the onion, celery, carrots and potatoes for 10 minutes.
  • Add flour slowly to the mixture, stirring well with a whisk. Cook for about 1 min stirring constantly.
  • Pour in the broth and heavy cream or half and half.
  • Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly .
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add chicken and mix well and turn off the heat.
  • Pour into a shallow 2 quart casserole dish . Make sure to distribute the chicken pieces evenly.
  • Spread the pastry sheet or pie crust on top and seal edges.
  • Cut slits or pierce lightly with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.

Tips:

1. This pot pie can be made very quickly by using frozen vegetables and left over baked chicken.
2. The puff pastry sheets and pie crusts can be found in the refrigerated or frozen food section at your grocery store. I love using Pepperidge Farms Puff pastry sheets for this recipe.

Ease of Preparation: Medium

No. of servings:
