Here’s a simple, comforting Easy Chicken Pot Pie recipe—creamy filling, flaky crust, and very beginner-friendly.
Chicken pot pie is a classic baked dish made with chicken, vegetables, and a creamy sauce under a pastry crust.
🥧 Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup carrots (diced)
- 1 cup peas
- 1/2 cup corn (optional)
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- Salt & black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Crust
- 1–2 sheets ready-made puff pastry or pie crust
🍳 Instructions
1. Cook vegetables
- In a pan, melt butter
- Sauté onions, carrots, peas, and corn until slightly soft
2. Make creamy sauce
- Add flour and stir for 1 minute (this thickens the sauce)
- Slowly add broth while stirring
- Add milk/cream and cook until thick and smooth
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
3. Add chicken
- Stir in cooked chicken
- Mix well and remove from heat
4. Assemble pie
- Pour filling into a baking dish
- Cover with pastry crust
- Cut small slits on top for steam
5. Bake
- Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25–35 minutes
- Top should be golden and crisp
💡 Tips for best results
- Use rotisserie chicken for speed
- Let filling cool slightly before adding crust (prevents soggy pastry)
- Brush top with egg wash for shine
- Add herbs like thyme for extra flavor
🍽️ Serving ideas
- Serve hot with salad or mashed potatoes
- Great for leftovers the next day
🧠 Bottom line
Chicken pot pie is a simple “one-dish meal” combining protein, vegetables, and creamy sauce under a crispy crust—comfort food made easy.
If you want, I can also give:
- a 30-minute quick version
- biscuit-topped pot pie (no pastry)
- or a low-calorie healthy version 👍
