The most perfect chicken pot pie recipe, made with lots of chicken and classic vegetables, all surrounded by a creamy sauce and baked under a towering puff pastry crust.<\/p>\n

\"Chicken<\/figure>\n

I wasn\u2019t expecting to fall in love with this chicken pot pie recipe this much, but I did, and I genuinely cannot wait for you to try it. It hits all the classic flavors, calls for rotisserie chicken for ease, and skips the double crust for store-bought puff pastry, which means it\u2019s 100% doable for you to make whenever you crave it.<\/p>\n

Oh, and everything happens in one skillet, so you won\u2019t even have that many dishes to clean when you are done.<\/p>\n

Key Ingredients<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Chicken:<\/strong> This recipe calls for cooked chicken. Rotisserie chicken is incredible, or you can use leftover roast chicken. This shredded chicken would be lovely, too.<\/li>\n
  • Vegetables:<\/strong> We keep things really classic for this recipe, using onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and frozen peas.<\/li>\n
  • Butter and Flour:<\/strong> You\u2019ll cook the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in the butter, then stir in flour to make a roux. This is what thickens the gravy.<\/li>\n
  • Stock and Milk:<\/strong> These combine to make our creamy gravy. The butter-and-flour roux helps thicken them. Use your favorite store-bought chicken broth or stock, or homemade chicken broth. The salt levels of broths and stocks vary, so be prepared to season a bit more generously as you cook through the recipe if you have a light- or low-sodium option. I love whole milk for the extra creaminess.<\/li>\n
  • Sage:<\/strong> Fresh chopped sage gives our sauce a cozy, classic flavor. If you don\u2019t have fresh, you can use dried. We call for 1 tablespoon chopped in the recipe below, which means you\u2019ll want to use 1 teaspoon dried sage.<\/li>\n
  • Crust:<\/strong> This pot pie is absolutely perfect with store-bought puff pastry. I love Dufour, but it\u2019s not sold in all grocery stores, so use what you have available. If you do have access to Dufour puff pastry, it\u2019s very much worth the extra cost! You can also use one sheet of homemade pie crust, but it will not turn out as puffed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How to Make Our Favorite Chicken Pot Pie<\/h2>\n

    Tip 1: Use a cast-iron skillet.<\/strong> To keep things easy, we make everything for this recipe in our 10-inch cast-iron skillet. You\u2019ll saut\u00e9 the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic first, make your roux with flour, build the sauce, and fold in the chicken and peas. Then, simply cover it all with a sheet of puff pastry before baking.<\/p>\n

    If you do not have a cast-iron skillet or yours isn\u2019t the right size, you can make the filling, transfer it to a pie dish, top with the pastry, and then bake.<\/p>\n

    Tip 2: Make the gravy.<\/strong> All the flavors build for this creamy gravy. After cooking the veggies until soft and sweet, you can add the flour. This will mix with the butter to create your roux, a paste that will help thicken the broth and milk.<\/p>\n

    After adding the flour, move it around the pan and let it cook for a minute so any raw flour flavor cooks away. Then, pour in the broth slowly. It might look really thick at first, but it thins as you add more. Pour in the milk next and then simmer until reasonably thick. Finally, taste it and season well with salt and pepper. Remember that broths vary with how seasoned they are, so you may need more than you think. Add it slowly and taste each time. If the flavor doesn\u2019t pop, add a bit more until it does.<\/p>\n
