Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients

• 2 pie crusts (Preferred type; one for the bottom and one for the top.)
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 1 yellow onion (Small, diced.)
• 2 celery stalks (Diced.)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 0.333 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic (Minced.)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• salt (To taste; for seasoning the chicken and filling.)
• 1 egg (For egg wash.)
• water (A splash, for egg wash.)

Steps

1. 1

   Season the chicken thighs with salt. Cook the chicken using your preferred method until cooked through, then cut it into bite-sized pieces. The source does not specify a cooking method or time.

2. 2

   Dice the onion and celery and mince the garlic if not already prepared. Set out the remaining filling ingredients.

3. 3

   Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery and sauté until softened.

4. 4

   Add the minced garlic and cook briefly, stirring, until fragrant.

5. 5

   Stir in the flour until it is incorporated with the butter and vegetables.

6. 6

   Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring as you add them to keep the sauce smooth.

7. 7

   Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is thick and creamy.

8. 8

   Stir in the cooked chicken pieces and frozen peas and carrots until evenly combined with the sauce.

9. 9

   Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and add the filling.

10. 10

    Cover with the second pie crust and seal the edges. Beat the egg with a splash of water, then brush the egg wash over the top crust.

11. 11

    Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30–35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

12. 12

    Let the pie rest for 10–15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

The source does not specify how to cook the chicken before adding it to the filling, nor does it give a cooking time for that step. Prep and total times are estimates.
