Ingredients
- 1 russet potato peeled and cubed, medium
- 2 chicken breast cubed (about 2 cups
- 1 cup carrot sliced
- 1 cup peas frozen
- ½ cup corn
- 2 (9-inch) pie crust unbaked
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes, then add chicken, carrots, peas, and corn and boil for 15 minutes more. Remove from the heat, drain the water, and set aside.
- Place bottom crust in a 9-inch pie plate and bake for 5 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, cook butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once butter is melted, stir in flour, garlic salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk and heat until thickened, 5-6 minutes.
- Remove bottom crust from the oven and add chicken and veggies to the crust. Pour the broth mixture over the chicken and veggies.
- Cover with the top pie crust, making sure to seal the edges. Cut slits on the top to allow steam to escape.
- Create an egg wash by whisking egg with a little water. Brushing egg wash on top the pie crust.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Let rest for 10–15 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
- To freeze, wrap the pot pie tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe resealable bag; stores up to 4 months.
- No need to thaw before baking frozen pot pie; add 35–40 minutes to baking time covered with foil.
- Allow the pie to rest 10–15 minutes after baking to let the filling firm up for easier slicing.
