  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 53 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
– 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup milk (or a dairy alternative)
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if preferred)


Instructions

Creating the Best High Protein Chicken Pot Pie is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to form a roux, cooking for about 1 minute.
3. Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Season the Mixture: Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir well to combine.
5. Incorporate Chicken and Vegetables: Add the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir until everything is coated in the sauce.
6. Prepare the Crust: Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
7. Fill the Pie: Pour the chicken filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
8. Cover with Crust: Place another pie crust on top of the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
9. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible pot pie effortlessly.
