Description
A comforting and hearty chicken pot pie made with a flaky puff pastry crust and a creamy, savory filling packed with chicken and vegetables. Easy to prepare and perfect for a cozy family dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups cooked, chopped chicken
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in cooked chicken and frozen peas. Remove from heat.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie plate and smooth out the top.
- Place the thawed puff pastry sheet over the top of the filling. Trim excess pastry and press edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.
- Beat the egg and brush it over the puff pastry for a golden crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking.
- Make the filling ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- You can add other vegetables like corn or green beans if desired.
- If the pastry starts browning too quickly, cover with foil during baking.
