Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 1 cup peas
- 1 cup corn
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 sheet puff pastry or pie crust
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and sauté chopped onions, carrots, and any other desired vegetables for about 5 minutes until they are just tender.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken for about 5 minutes.
- Stir the chopped chicken back into the skillet, season with thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Roll out your puff pastry or pie crust and fit it into a pie dish. Pour the creamy chicken mixture into the crust, then cover with another layer of pastry. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Place the pot pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
