Favorite Chicken Potpie

Description

This hearty chicken potpie is loaded with tender chicken, potatoes, carrots, peas, and corn, all enveloped in a rich and creamy sauce and encased in a flaky pie crust.

INGREDIENTS

– 2 cups diced peeled potatoes – 1-3/4 cups sliced carrots – 1 cup butter, cubed – 2/3 cup chopped onion – 1 cup all-purpose flour – 1-3/4 teaspoons salt – 1 teaspoon dried thyme

INGREDIENTS

– 3/4 teaspoon pepper – 3 cups chicken broth – 1-1/2 cups whole milk – 4 cups cubed cooked chicken – 1 cup frozen peas – 1 cup frozen corn – 4 sheets refrigerated pie crust

STEPS 1

Preheat your oven to 425°. Place the potatoes and carrots in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, covered, until crisp-tender; drain.

STEPS 2

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until tender. Blend in flour and seasonings, then gradually add broth and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 2 minutes until thickened.

STEPS 3

In a large mixing dish, add chicken, peas, corn, and the potato-carrot combination. Add in the broth mixture.

STEPS 4

Place a pie crust in each 9-inch pie plate; trim edges. Add chicken mixture, cover with remaining crusts, seal, flute edges, and slit tops.

STEPS 5

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is gently browned. Allow 15 minutes before cutting.
