Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your homemade chicken pot pie:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced chicken until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and carrots. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the peas and corn, cooking for another 2 minutes. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Season with garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
- Put the second pie crust on top, sealing the edges and cutting a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade chicken pot pie!
