Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the pot pie filling.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing them until they become soft and fragrant.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn) to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes to soften and combine flavors.
- Add Chicken and Seasoning: Mix in the shredded cooked chicken along with salt, pepper, and thyme to enhance the dish’s savory taste.
- Prepare Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, chicken broth, and milk until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Thicken Filling: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Once thickened, transfer the filling into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake the pot pie for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbly and heated through.
Notes
- Using cooked chicken ahead of time saves preparation time—rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut.
- Feel free to substitute or add your favorite vegetables like green beans or mushrooms.
- Make sure the sauce is thickened enough before baking to prevent a watery pie.
- This dish can be prepared a day in advance and baked just before serving.
- For added flavor, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top before baking.
