This Creamy Chicken Pot Pie is a comfort food classic and an all time favorite in our house. It’s made with an easy homemade sauce! With little prep, you can make this delicious meal-in-one for your family.

I’ve been making this very chicken pot pie recipe for many years and anyone who’s had it LOVES it! That includes one of my sons (the other one is still very picky) and my hubby who claims to have married me for my cooking skills. Yes, he tells people this.

Like my hearty and yummy Chicken Noodle Casserole, this chicken recipe is a meal-in-one because it has meat, veggies, dairy and carbs. It’s filling and absolutely delicious comfort food! It’s a wonderful family meal.

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie

Using refrigerated pie crusts makes the prep time easy for this recipe. I also use frozen peas and carrots to save some prep time for the peeling and cutting carrots.

Another time saver is using frozen diced onions. I love this little trick because it doesn’t sacrifice the flavor too much and is great when you’re short on time.

Instead of making this recipe by cooking the chicken on the stove top, you can also make it via the slow cooker.

Do you put egg wash on chicken pot pie?

Yes but, you don’t have to. The egg wash makes the pastry dough shiny and attractive. Egg wash is made with one egg, beaten and adding two tables spoons of water to it but, you can just use an egg white to achieve the same.

Now, let’s talk about the creamy homemade sauce.

What makes this chicken pot pie very good is the homemade sauce! It’s so easy-to-make.

Ingredients

• 5 tbsp butter
• 5 tbsp flour
• 2/3 cup of whole milk
• 2 cups of chicken broth
• 3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 2 refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 egg (optional for browning crust)

First, put the butter in a large saucepan and add the chopped onions.

Then, add the flour and stir to make a roux. It will look a little pasty until you add the milk.

Next, stir in the milk and then add the chicken broth. Stir until it’s blended.

Then, add the peas and carrots and seasonings.

Next, add the cooked, shredded chicken to the creamy sauce.

Then, put one of the refrigerated pie crusts into an 8″ x 8″ x 3″ baking dish and pour the chicken mixture into the baking dish.

Next, add the other pie crust on top and brush with an egg white. It makes the top of the chicken pot pie look golden brown.

Bake it at 400F for 35 minutes on the middle rack. Allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting.

This chicken pot pie recipe is so delicious!

Substitutions

• Use cubed or shredded turkey breast
• Ham cubes can be added or used in place of the chicken
• Use one stalk of celery (cut into 1/4 inch wide pieces) in place of the celery seed
• If you don’t have frozen peas and carrots, add canned one at the end of the cooking time of the sauce.
