Hey everyone! So, picture this: it's a chilly evening, and you're craving something warm, comforting, and oh-so-satisfying. That's exactly how I felt when I whipped up this creamy chicken pot pie recipe, and let me tell you, it hit the spot like nothing else!
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a pie dish.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Transfer the creamy chicken filling to the greased pie dish.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and place it over the filling, trimming any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
- Brush the top of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.
- Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the chicken pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
