How to Make Basic Chicken Pot Pie
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 1 minute until softened. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until a paste forms (roux).
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of milk. Continue stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer.
- Add 2 cups of cooked chicken, diced, 1 cup of mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn), and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie crust.
- Top with another pie crust or strips of crust. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
