How to Make Deep Dish Cajun Chicken Pot Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your favorite pie crust recipe or use one store-bought (one 14-inch or two 9-inch).
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup milk until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and begins to bubble (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced), 1 1/2 cups mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn), and 1 cup diced potatoes.
- Pour the chicken mixture into a deep-dish pie plate (9 or 10 inch).
- Brush the edges of the pie dish with 1 egg yolk (lightly beaten) to help the crust adhere.
- Carefully place the pie crust over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut several 1/2 inch slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- (Optional) Cut any leftover pie crust into decorative strips and arrange over the top crust.
- Brush the top crust with the remaining egg wash.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
