Chicken pot pie is one of my favorite comfort dishes.  Today on Ivy’s Kitchen I decided to make this dish. This dish was inspired by someone who had made this for me. After finding out how it was made, I realized I can make this at home and stop buying the frozen ones. I wanted to recreate my version at home. This pie consist of moist chicken, tender veggies, covered with a thick creamy gravy sauce, in a pie crust.

Here are the ingredients:
1 purple potato cubed or 1 cup of frozen peas
1 carrot diced
1 celery stalk diced
1 garlic minced
1/2 a medium onion or 1/3 cup of onion diced
2 skinless chicken breast cubed (I used left over rotisserie store bought chicken)
1/3 cup of flour
1/3 cup of butter + 1 tablespoon extra melted butter to brush on top of pie crust.
1 3/4 cup of low sodium chicken broth + extra for boiling veggies.
2/3 cup of whole milk
2 pie crust (9″).

Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes.

Procedure:

1. Peel potatoes and carrots. Wash carrot and celery.
2. Cube the potatoes, pan fry, season with salt and pepper, and set aside when done..
3. While potatoes cook, dice up carrot, celery, onion, and mince garlic.
4. Cube your chicken breast. If you are not using left over rotisserie chicken. Season your chicken breast with salt and pepper and poach in chicken broth until cooked.
5. Add chicken, carrot, and celery to a pot. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Add chicken broth, just enough to cover the veggies and bring to a slight simmer. Cook veggies until soft. Drain chicken broth and set veggies aside.
7. Melt 1/3 cup of butter on a pan and sauté your onion and garlic. Season with salt.
8. Once onions have softened, add your flour and cook until flour is coated with the butter (3 minutes).
9. Whisk in 1 ¾ cup of chicken broth to the pan. Once done adding, whisk in 2/3 cup of milk.
10. Cook until mixture has thicken to a gravy.
11. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave.
12. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
13. Once gravy has thickened, put chicken, veggies, and potatoes mixture in the pie shell.
14. Slowly add your gravy to the mixture.
15. Take the other pie crust and place on top of the pie. Crimp on edges with a fork.
16. Create slits on top of pie crust to allow steam to come out.
17. Brush top of pie crust with melted butter.
18. Bake for 30 minutes or until top of the pie is golden brown.

Enjoy!
