Recipe
Chicken pot pie is a comforting classic dish that combines tender chicken, vegetables, and a creamy sauce, all encased in a flaky pastry crust. Perfect for family dinners or cozy gatherings, this recipe is both hearty and satisfying.
To make this dish, you’ll need:
1 pound of cooked, shredded chicken,
1 cup of diced carrots,
1 cup of frozen peas,
1/2 cup of diced celery,
1/3 cup of unsalted butter,
1/3 cup of all-purpose flour,
1/2 teaspoon of salt,
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper,
1/4 teaspoon of celery seed,
1 3/4 cups of chicken broth,
2/3 cup of milk,
and 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts.
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed until smooth. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, then bring to a boil.
Cook and stir for 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Line a pie plate with one crust, pour in the chicken mixture, and top with the second crust. Seal and flute the edges, then cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes: For a richer flavor, use rotisserie chicken instead of plain cooked chicken. You can also add other vegetables like corn or green beans if desired.

What To Serve With It
There’s nothing quite like a warm slice of chicken pot pie, but pairing it with the right sides can turn a good meal into something even better.
I love serving mine with a crisp green salad tossed with a light vinaigrette—it cuts through the richness perfectly.
Steamed veggies like green beans or broccoli add a fresh touch, and roasted root vegetables bring warmth.
A side of creamy mashed potatoes feels indulgent but fits right in.
For a tangy contrast, I sometimes add pickles or coleslaw.
And don’t forget a slice of crusty bread for mopping up every last bit of gravy!
