Cook Time

It takes about 45 minutes to bake this chicken pot pie. The crust is made with butter and needs to be cooked in the oven until it is golden brown and flaky. The filling is cooked in the oven until it is bubbling and the chicken is cooked through.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced potatoes
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. Cook the chicken breasts in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Once cooked, let cool and then dice into cubes.

3. In the same skillet, add the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes.

4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Continue to whisk until the sauce is thick and bubbly.

5. Add the cooked chicken and vegetables to the sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley.

6. Place one of the pie crusts in a 9-inch pie dish and pour the filling into the dish. Cover with the remaining pie crust and crimp the edges. Cut four slits in the top of the crust.

Recipe Tips

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken. If you don't have cooked chicken on hand, you can use a rotisserie chicken or cook chicken breasts in the skillet before adding the vegetables. You can also substitute the vegetables for other vegetables like corn or peas. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley instead.
