Today, we’re diving into the delightful world of Chicken Pot Pie! This isn’t just any frozen dinner; we’re talking about a homemade goodness that’ll make you want to hug your oven. So, roll up your sleeves and let’s get cooking!
Feast Your Eyes!
First things first, we’re kicking things off with a deliciously inviting image of our main star.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this magnificent pie:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup peas (frozen is just fine!)
- 1 cup potatoes, diced
- 1 small onion, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (because we’re not making it harder than it needs to be!)
Instructions
Let’s get to the good part—putting it all together!
- First up, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). You want it nice and toasty for the pie!
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and toss in the onions. Sauté until they’re translucent and looking fabulous.
- Next, add the diced chicken to the skillet. Cook until it’s no longer pink; we wouldn’t want any pink chicken playing tricks on us!
- Stir in the carrots, potatoes, peas, and thyme. Let them mingle for about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, and stir to coat everything. Slowly, pour in the chicken broth and milk. Stir until it’s nice and thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Pour in the chicken mixture—it’s looking fab already!
- Top it off with the second pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top to allow the steam to escape (unless you want a mini chicken pot pie explosion, which sounds exciting but also kind of messy).
- Place it in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and singing.
- Let it cool for a bit because, trust me, you don’t want to scald your tongue off! Then dig in!
And there you have it! A Chicken Pot Pie that will fill your belly and warm your heart. Enjoy!
