This recipe uses frozen mixed vegetables to make the prep work easier and quicker. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make chicken pot pie with frozen mixed vegetables.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 6-8 tbsp ice water
For the filling:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Make the crust
To make the crust, combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Cook the chicken and vegetables
In a large skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until it is no longer pink. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the sauce
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Cook until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Combine the filling
Combine the cooked chicken and vegetables with the sauce. Mix well.
Step 5: Assemble the pie
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Add the filling. Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the filling. Crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Step 6: Bake the pie
Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
