Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked, diced chicken
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 recipe pastry dough
Instructions
To make this Boston Market Chicken Pot Pie, begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F. Next, in a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually stir in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken, vegetables, and parsley and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Now, roll out the pastry dough to fit the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the dough in the plate and pour the chicken mixture into the pastry-lined plate. Roll out the remaining pastry dough to fit the top of the pie plate. Place the pastry on top of the pie and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Recipe Tips
For the best results, use a high-quality butter and all-purpose flour. For a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly and lightly. To make the filling extra creamy, add a cup of heavy cream to the chicken broth. To make the pot pie extra flavorful, add a tablespoon of minced fresh herbs to the filling. To make the dish lower in fat, use low-fat chicken broth and low-fat milk instead of heavy cream.
