Provided by Kyoo

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 refrigerated 9-inch pie crusts, at room temperature, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅔ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup butter
1 clove garlic, minced
⅓ medium onion, diced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
⅔ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place 1 pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Poke several holes in the bottom of the crust.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken breasts with rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and saute until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add 2/3 cup chicken broth. Simmer, being careful not to overcook, just until chicken juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, allowing it to cool until the juices settle, about 15 minutes. Reserve pan drippings.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pan drippings and garlic. Saute until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion, salt, and pepper and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour until mixture thickens.
  • Add 1 3/4 cups chicken broth and milk, 1 cup of liquid at a time, whisking constantly. Remove from heat once mixture begins to thicken.
  • Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and mix with thawed vegetables and broth mixture until combined. Pour into the pre-baked pie crust. Cut slits in the remaining pie crust and place it on top of the pie, crimping the edges to seal and decorating them with tongs or a fork, if desired.
  • Place pot pie in the oven and bake until crust is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Check edges halfway through baking time and cover them with aluminum foil if they start to brown too much.

Tips for Making the Best Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Filling:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just stick to carrots and celery. Add in some peas, corn, green beans, or any other vegetables you like.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through, but not so much that it's dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the vegetables and chicken, but not so thick that it's gloppy.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: A homemade pie crust is always the best choice, but if you're short on time, a store-bought pie crust will work just fine.
  • Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown: This will ensure that the pot pie is cooked through and that the crust is crispy and delicious.

Conclusion:

Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flaky crust, it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and delicious meal, give this homemade chicken pot pie filling a try.
