How to Make Alice S Chicken Pot Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 chopped carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound of cubed cooked chicken breast, 1 cup of frozen peas, and 1/2 cup of chopped celery to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Top with a homemade or store-bought pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
