How to make Classic Creamy Chicken Pot Pie
- If chicken is not pre-cooked, poach or boil chicken breasts until cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Shred or dice the cooked chicken and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie plate by placing one pie crust in the bottom.
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, about 8-10 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 2 minutes to create a roux, cooking off the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, then the heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring, until it thickens.
- Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Pour the hot chicken and vegetable filling into the pie crust-lined pie plate, spreading it evenly.
- Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- For an optional golden crust, whisk the egg with 1 tbsp water and brush lightly over the top pie crust.
- Place the pie plate on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let the pie cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the filling to set.
