Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 pie crusts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375Ā°F (190Ā°C). Ensure the rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
- In a large skillet, sautƩ chopped onions over medium heat until they become translucent and slightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux, which will help thicken the filling.
- Gradually pour in chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken and simmer.
- Add thyme, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Fold in the cooked diced chicken and frozen mixed vegetables, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Line a 9-inch pie dish with one pie crust, trimming any excess edges hanging over the rim.
- Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut 3-4 small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow, and bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Slice into 8 servings and enjoy your Super Bowl Chicken Pot Pie!
Tips
- ā¢ For extra flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken or seasoning your chicken with herbs before dicing. ā¢ Make sure your roux (flour and onion mixture) is cooked thoroughly to prevent a raw flour taste. ā¢ Let the pie rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make slicing easier. ā¢ Use a baking sheet underneath to catch any potential overflow and protect your oven. ā¢ For a golden, shiny crust, brush the top pie crust with an egg wash before baking. ā¢ You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate, which can actually enhance the flavors. ā¢ Don't overfill the pie to prevent leakage during baking.
