Ingredients
To make this potpie, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound of cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots
- 1 cup of diced potatoes
- 1/3 cup of butter
- 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 3/4 cups of chicken broth
- 2/3 cup of milk
- 2 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts
Instructions
Now, let’s get started with the preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken, peas, carrots, and potatoes to the sauce. Stir until everything is coated well and heated through.
- Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
- Cover with the second pie crust. Seal the edges by crimping them and cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade chicken potpie!
