This was such an easy dinner. I thought I was being adventurous by making this for dinner on an average Thursday night. However, this chicken pot pie came together quickly and in only one pot and one pan. Less dishes is always a win in my recipe book!
What made me even more intrigued to make this was the number of people that have tried this recipe- 16k people, with 8k reviews averaging 5 stars at allrecipes.com! That’s a lot of successful chicken pot pies.
There was not a crumb left over. I was worried when I cut into it that it would be a soupy mess, but it held together perfectly. Yum.
“A delicious chicken pie made from scratch with carrots, peas and celery.”
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cubed
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1/2 cup sliced celery
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
- In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
- In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
