Easy Chicken Pot Pie
Report
This homemade chicken pot pie recipe is quick to throw together and always a hit with my family. It's so comforting and filling. We like to serve it with a big green salad on the side.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 3/4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup diced peeled potatoes
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 prepared pie crusts see notes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Make the roux by heating a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and melt.
- Whisk in the flour and continue whisking over medium heat for 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly. Continue cooking until mixture has thickened. Stir in salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Add the potatoes and carrots to a large microwave safe bowl along with 1 tablespoon of water, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 3 minutes. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and drain the liquid fully.
- Add the roux, chicken, peas, and onion to the mixing bowl with the potatoes and carrots. Stir well to combine.
- Arrange the bottom pie crust in the pie plate. Pour the filling over the crust. Arrange the other crust over the top.
- Crimp the edges and cut 4 small slits in the center of the top crust to vent.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Pie Crust: You may use store bought pie crust here, but we really love the crust from our cranberry apple pie. Just skip the extra sugar that gets sprinkled on top.
- Update: After hearing from a couple readers that their carrots and potatoes weren't quite cooking through, I added an extra step of microwaving them before adding to the pot pie. You could also parboil them on the stove.
