Chicken Pot Pie

Serves 8

Prep 30 min · Cook 1 hr

A classic chicken pot pie with a buttery, flaky crust and creamy chicken and vegetable filling.

  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1⁄2 tsp (3 g) salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp (1 g) freshly ground black pepper

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to a large saucepan and cover it with water. Bring it to a simmer and cook until it's just barely cooked through then remove the chicken to a plate. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before chopping into bite-size pieces. Reserve about 1 3/4 cups of the water in a measuring cup, and discard the rest.

  • 1⁄3 cup onion, chopped
  • 1⁄2 cup celery, sliced
  • 1⁄3 cup (76 g) butter
  • 1⁄3 cup (41 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄2 tsp (1 g) garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon cube or 1 chicken bouillon cube
  • 1⁄4 tsp (1 g) celery seed

Add onions, celery and butter to the saucepan and cook for a few minutes, until soft and translucent. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, bouillon paste and celery seed. Slowly stir in the reserved water and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick.

  • 1 cup (240 g) milk

Add chopped chicken and frozen vegetables. Taste and season with more salt, pepper, bouillon or garlic powder if needed. Allow mixture to cool (so that it's not hot when poured into the pie crust).

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  • 1 recipe homemade pie dough

Remove one pie dough from the fridge and place on lightly floured counter. Use a rolling pin to roll dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Place in 9 inch pie pan.

Add cooled chicken pot pie filling. Roll out second pie crust and place over the top of the filling. Seal edges of the two crusts together and crimp them, if desired. Use a sharp knife to make a small slit in the top pie crust to allow steam to escape.

  • 8 oz (230 g) frozen veggies
  • 1 (51 g) large egg

Whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon milk and brush a very thin layer over the top pie crust before baking.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. If you find the pie crust is browning too quickly, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil.

Allow chicken pot pie to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving, to allow it to set up.
