Easy Chicken Pot Pie


  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 1/2 cup sliced celery
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2c. chicken-canned or boiled
  • 2 unbaked pie crusts-pillsbury is best

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425
  2. In a saucepan combine carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
  3. In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and seasonings. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Add chicken and mix the veggies with the sauce. Pour onto the bottom pie crust in pie pan. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  5. 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.
  6. Hint. I cook the veggies in the microwave and it is way faster.
