Ingredients

*Quantity of ingredients is dependent on you and your desired thickness for the filling as well as your palette for things like salt and seasoning. This is why the quantities are not exact. 

Filling

  • ~3 cups chicken bone broth
  • ~2 cups of diced, cooked chicken
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 bag frozen peas & carrots
  • ~1/2 cup cream
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • ~2 tbsp flour

Crust

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar

Directions

Filling

Step 1

Add the onions to a cooking pot with a little bit of oil. Cook until translucent.

Step 2

Add flour to the cooking pot, mixing to create a rue

Step 3

Slowly add chicken bone broth to the cooking pot, stirring and allowing it to thicken before adding more.

Step 4

Add the bag of frozen peas & carrots to the cooking pot along with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the seasonings to taste. Stir. 

Step 5

Add the diced chicken and cream to the cooking pot. Mix and allow it to simmer until the peas and carrots are almost fully cooked. 

Crust

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. 

Step 2

Add the butter and pulse the food processor until the butter is the size of peas

Step 3

Add the water and vinegar and pulse a few more times. The mixture will look like a big pile of crumbs, not like a traditional pie dough ball. 

Step 4

Shape the dough into a disc and cover it with plastic wrap. Place it in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour. 

Combining & Baking

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Place filling in a pie dish. 

Step 3

Roll out your dough and place it over the filling.

Step 4

Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the crust is cooked through and just turning golden brown

Step 5

Let the dish cool and enjoy!

*For a freezer pot pie, place the contents in an aluminum pie dish and cover. Freeze rather than bake. Pull out and bake when desired.
