Chicken Pot Pie

Oh. My. Goodness. This was so delicious, so amazing, Dan and I literally could not stop eating it. We stuffed ourselves silly. I used to love eating the little frozen chicken pot pies from Marie Calendar's, but never again. This was better in every way! I got the recipe from HERE.



Chicken Pot Pie

• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed


• 1 C carrots, sliced


• 1 C frozen green peas


• 1 C celery, sliced


• 1 C frozen corn


• 1/3 C butter


• 1 small onion, chopped


• 1 clove garlic, minced


• 1/3 C all-purpose flour


• 1/4 tsp black pepper


• 1/4 tsp celery seed


• 1 3/4 C chicken broth (potentially less)


• 2/3 C milk


• 2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts


• About 3 tsp chicken bouillon

Preheat oven to 425° F.

In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, corn and celery. Add water and chicken bouillon to cover and boil for 15 minutes (about 1 tsp bouillon to 1 C water). Remove from heat, reserve as much broth as possible, drain and set aside.

In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, pepper and celery seed. If needed, make more chicken broth with bouillon to add to the reserved broth until you have 1 3/4 C. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Stir in chicken and vegetables.

Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Cover with top crust, seal edges and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
