Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 3 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or chopped Rotisserie chicken works well
  • 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables or peas and carrots No need to chop
  • 1 medium Onion Optional, but adds flavor
  • 4 tablespoons Butter For sautéing the onions
  • 1/3 cup Flour To thicken the sauce
  • 2 cups Chicken broth For the filling
  • 1 cup Milk or half and half To make the filling creamy
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder For added flavor
Crust
  • 2 sheets Pie crust or puff pastry Store bought is recommended

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt butter in a pan and cook onion until soft, if using.
  2. Stir in flour to make a paste.
  3. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, cooking until thickened.
  4. Add in cooked chicken and mixed vegetables, warming through.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  6. Once filling is ready, spoon it into pie dishes.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Top each filled pie with crust, seal edges, and cut small slits for steam escape.
  2. For baking immediately, preheat oven to 400°F and bake for 25 to 35 minutes until golden.
  3. To freeze unbaked, cool filling slightly, assemble pies, wrap well, label, and freeze flat.
  4. Bake from frozen at 400°F for 60 to 80 minutes, covering with foil for the first 25 minutes.
  5. For thawing overnight, place in fridge, then bake normally.

Notes

Let the pot pie rest for 10 minutes after baking for better slicing. Use a baking sheet to catch any spills.
