Classic Chicken Pot Pie
A cozy, comforting chicken pot pie filled with tender chicken and vegetables in a creamy sauce.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a homemade chicken pot pie to make your kitchen feel warm and inviting. This recipe is a favorite at my house because it turns simple ingredients into a meal that feels like a big hug on a plate.
The secret is using a flaky, buttery crust that keeps the creamy filling perfectly tucked inside. My best tip is to use rotisserie chicken if you are in a rush, as it saves so much time while keeping the flavor delicious.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup onion, diced

- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the onions and carrots until they are soft.

Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper until well combined, then slowly add the chicken broth and milk while stirring constantly.

Continue cooking until the sauce thickens, then stir in the chicken and peas and remove from the heat.

Place one pie crust into the bottom of a pie dish and pour the chicken mixture over it.

Cover with the second pie crust, seal the edges, and cut a few small slits on top to let the steam escape.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
💡 Tips
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, just pop a slice in the oven until it is warmed through. This pie also freezes beautifully if you want to make it ahead for a busy week.
