Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

There are certain dishes my kids associate with me, and this Homemade Chicken Pot Pie is one of them. In fact, it's in the top three most requested dishes in this family. It's second only to my fried chicken recipe. (I need to post that one soon.)

This is my favorite chicken pot pie recipe because it's not a wimpy pie. Most restaurant and grocery store pot pies are seriously lacking in chicken and vegetables. So disappointing!

That is not what you'll get with this pot pie. It's absolutely packed with chicken and vegetables. It's so good, you probably won't even have leftovers. Bake two.

Tips for making a Homemade Chicken Pot Pie

- Shredded chicken. You can purchase chicken breasts and shred it yourself. It's simple enough. You could even use your Instant Pot to make the task easier. If you're in a real hurry, buy a rotisserie chicken and shred it.

- Season to taste. My recipe lists a specific amount of poultry seasoning, but truth be known, I just eyeball it. As the chicken is cooking, I sprinkle my spices on until it looks good to me. You can do the same, but if you're not comfortable with that, just follow the instructions. 

Can you freeze a Chicken Pot Pie?

Freezing a pot pie is a fantastic way to plan ahead, and it's easy!

To freeze an unbaked pot pie:

Assemble the pot pie in a pie pan, freeze it, then pop it out of the pie pan. Wrap it in aluminum foil, and then re-wrap it in freezer-quality plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 3 months. To cook it, bake at 375 degrees for about 50 minutes.

To freeze a baked pot pie: 

Cook according to directions. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes. At this point, it's safe to chill in the refrigerator if needed. Then wrap according to the directions above. To reheat it, bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. (No need to thaw.)

What do you serve with Chicken Pot Pie?

Like beef stew, chicken pot pie is packed with meat and vegetables, so it's a great stand-alone meal. If you want to serve something else, I'd keep it light. Perhaps some fruit, or a salad.

Ingredients

• 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 16 oz of frozen mixed veggies
• 4 Tbsp Butter
• 1/2 cup Finely Diced Onion
• 1/2 cup Finely Diced Carrot
• 1/2 cup Finely Diced Celery
• 1/4 cup Flour and 1/4 cup cold water
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 tsp dried sage
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• Salt And Pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup half-and-half or cream
• 1 double pie crust recipe
• 1 whole egg
• 2 Tbsp Water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
2. Mix flour with 1/4 cup of cold water. Set aside.
3. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Stir until onions start are translucent - about 3 minutes.
4. Stir in chicken. Add flour and water mixture. Stir until it's blended with chicken and vegetables. Cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and stir. When it starts to thicken, add poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper.
5. Add the half-and-half or cream. Stir until it thickens and bubbles up - about 3 minutes. If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth. Add frozen vegetables. Turn off the heat.
6. Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and line the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Pour chicken mixture into pan. Place second pie crust on top of dish. Press the dough so that the edges stick to the outside of the pan. Use a knife to cut vents into center of dough.
7. Mix together the egg with 2 tablespoons water and brush it over the surface of the crust. Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and filling bubbles.
