Golden Chicken Pot Pie with Buttery Crust is a cozy, satisfying dish with tender chicken and vegetables in a creamy sauce, wrapped in a flaky, golden crust. It’s a comforting, homemade classic perfect for family dinners or chilly evenings.

Ingredients

  • For the filling:
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or parsley (optional)
  • For the crust:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6–8 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: store-bought pie crust or puff pastry as a shortcut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5–7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, and simmer until thickened, 3–5 minutes.
  4. Add chicken, peas, salt, pepper, and herbs. Mix well and let cool slightly.
  5. For the crust, combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add ice water gradually until dough holds together. Divide in two and chill for 20 minutes if needed.
  6. Roll out one crust and fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour in cooled filling.
  7. Roll out second crust, place on top, seal and crimp edges. Cut slits to vent steam.
  8. Brush with egg wash and bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Add mushrooms, corn, or green beans for variety.
  • Make individual servings in ramekins for a personal touch.
  • Use biscuit topping or puff pastry for a twist.
  • Reheat in oven for a crisp crust; microwave for convenience.
