How to Make Delicious Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cubed
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1/2 cup sliced celery
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, cook onions in butter over medium heat until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place the chicken mixture in the bottom pie crust. Pour the hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to let steam escape.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
