How to make best chicken Pot pie recipe

Pot pie is a savory dish typically made with a flaky pastry crust that encases a rich, creamy filling. The filling usually consists of vegetables (such as carrots, peas, and potatoes), meat (like chicken, turkey, or beef), and a thickened gravy or sauce. The dish is baked in a pie pan until golden brown and is a comforting, hearty meal, especially popular during colder mon Here’s a classic Chicken Pot Pie recipe: Ingredients: For the filling: 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well) 1 cup frozen peas 1 cup diced carrots (fresh or frozen) 1/2 cup diced potatoes (optional) 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups chicken broth 1 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste) 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste) 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional) 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional) For the crust: 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie dough if preferred) Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Prepare the filling: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, peas, and potatoes (if using), and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Stir everything together and remove from heat. 3. Prepare the crust: Roll out one pie crust and place it in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust. Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the pie dish. 4. Top with the second crust: Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the top of the filling. Trim any excess crust and pinch the edges to seal the pie. You can crimp the edges with a fork or fold them under for a neat finish. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. 5. Bake: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil. 6. Cool and serve: Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Slice and enjoy!
