Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish or deep-dish pie plate; set aside (or you can use a 2-quart oven-proof skillet). In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth and half-and-half. Set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; sauté for 10 minutes. Add flour and continue cooking and stirring for 1 more minute. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the chicken broth mixture. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring regularly, until thick (about 5-6 minutes). Make sure that the mixture doesn’t boil. Stir in the salt and pepper. Add chicken and frozen peas.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish (or leave in the oven-safe skillet). Top with the pie crust, sealing and fluting the edges as desired. Cut slits into the top of the crust to allow the steam to escape.
- Bake in a 400°F oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pot pie rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- How to Make Ahead and Bake from Frozen: you can assemble the entire pot pie and freeze it before baking. Wrapped tightly, the unbaked pot pie will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To bake from frozen, preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the pot pie on a baking sheet, cover with foil, and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the inside is bubbly.
