Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Crust:

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Cook the Filling:

    • In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
    • Add chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
    • Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
    • Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then bring to a simmer.
    • Pour in heavy cream and stir until thickened (3–4 minutes).
    • Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder.
    • Add chicken, carrots, peas, and corn, stirring to combine.
    • Simmer for 5 minutes to heat through.
  • Assemble the Pot Pie:

    • Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
    • Pour the chicken and veggie filling into the crust.
    • Place the second pie crust on top, crimping the edges to seal.
    • Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake and Serve:

    • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
    • Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
    • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make it ahead: Prepare the filling in advance and store in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the crust with an egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tbsp water).
  • Swap the protein: Use turkey instead of chicken for a post-holiday meal.
