Ingridents:

• • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, corn)
  • 1 medium potato, diced (optional)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  For the Crust:

  • 2 store-bought pie crusts (or homemade, if preferred)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash, optional)

Recipe:

1. Preheat the oven:
   • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the filling:
   • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.
   • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk to form a thick, creamy sauce.
   • Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen vegetables, and diced potato (if using). Simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
3. Prepare the crust:
   • Roll out your pie crusts if they are not pre-rolled.
   • Line individual ramekins (or a large pie dish) with the bottom crust, leaving some overhang.
4. Assemble the pot pies:
   • Spoon the chicken filling into the crust-lined dish(es).
   • Cover with the top crust and pinch the edges to seal. Trim any excess crust.
   • Cut a few small slits in the top for ventilation.
   • Brush the top crust with a beaten egg for a golden finish (optional).
5. Bake:
   • Place the pot pies on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
   • Bake for 30-35 minutes for individual pies or 40-50 minutes for a large pot pie, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
6. Cool and serve:
   • Let the pot pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Tips:

• Short on time? Use rotisserie chicken and pre-made frozen vegetables.
• Want extra richness? Add a splash of cream or cheese to the filling.
