Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that is easy to make at home. With a homemade pie crust and simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that your family will love. Here is a step-by-step guide to making an easy homemade chicken pot pie with pie crust.
Ingredients
For the pie crust:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
For the filling:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar for the pie crust. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. In a large skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until no longer pink. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth. Gradually stir in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened.
6. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cooked chicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the chilled pie crust disks into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and add the chicken mixture.
8. Roll out the second chilled pie crust disk into a 12-inch circle. Cut slits in the center of the crust to allow steam to escape. Place the crust on top of the chicken mixture and trim the edges. Crimp the edges to seal.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Conclusion
Homemade chicken pot pie with pie crust is a delicious and comforting dish that can be made easily in your own kitchen. With a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking skills, you can create a meal that your family will love. Serve with a side salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal. Enjoy!
