Every time I make this Chicken Pot Pie, I’m taken back to Sunday dinners in my grandma’s cozy kitchen. The buttery crust, creamy filling, and tender chicken brought comfort after a long week. Now, it’s a tradition in my home too. Try it out and bring some of that old-fashioned love to your table tonight.
Filling:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup diced onion
2 carrots, sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup frozen peas
Pie Crust:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup cold buttermilk
2 tbsp cold water (if needed)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Make the crust: Mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter. Add buttermilk until dough forms. Chill in fridge.
Cook the filling: Sauté onion, carrots, and celery in butter. Stir in garlic, flour, herbs, salt, and pepper. Slowly add broth and cream. Cook until thick. Add chicken and peas.
Assemble: Roll out one crust, place in a pie dish, add filling, cover with second crust. Seal edges, cut slits, brush with egg.
