Description

This easy-to-make chicken pot pie recipe is the perfect way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken. It's a comfort food favorite that's sure to please the whole family. The creamy, savory filling is loaded with tender pieces of chicken and vegetables, enveloped by a flaky, golden crust. It's an ideal meal for a cozy night in, and leftovers reheat beautifully.

Prep Time

This chicken pot pie takes about 15 minutes to prepare before baking. If you have already cooked chicken, the prep time is even less.

Cook Time

The cooking time is about 30 minutes. The crust will be golden and the filling will be bubbly when it's ready.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 large onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion, celery, and mixed vegetables, and sauté until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, stirring constantly. Add milk, garlic powder, thyme, and salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in chicken. Pour mixture into prepared dish.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry to fit the top of the pie dish. Cut a few slits in the top of the pastry for steam to escape. Place pastry on top of the pie, pressing the edges to seal.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

If you don't have frozen vegetables, use equal amounts of fresh vegetables instead.
Add a little bit of shredded cheese to the filling for extra flavor.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling for a bit of heat.
For a crunchy topping, sprinkle some crushed crackers or bread crumbs over the top of the pie.
If you don't have leftover rotisserie chicken, cooked chicken breasts or thighs will also work.
