A classic comfort food, chicken pot pie features tender chicken and mixed vegetables in a creamy, savory sauce, all baked under a flaky, golden pastry crust. --- RECIPE --- Servings: 6 Prep Time: 30 minutes Ingredients: - 1 tbsp olive oil - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes - 1 cup chopped carrots - 1 cup frozen peas - 1 cup chopped celery - 1/2 cup chopped onion - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 2 cups chicken broth - 1 cup milk - 1/2 tsp dried thyme - Salt and black pepper to taste - 2 sheets refrigerated pie crust Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside. 3. Add carrots, peas, celery, and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. 4. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. 5. Return cooked chicken to the skillet.
