Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the frozen peas and corn, then return the chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the thyme and poultry seasoning. Remove from heat.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the crust.
- Cover the pot pie with the second pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal and cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For an extra rich flavor, you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as green beans or diced potatoes.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, brush the top crust with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water) before baking.
