Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 box (approximately 8.5 ounces) Cornbread mix
• 0.333 cup Milk
• 1 item Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Honey (optional for cornbread topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a paste and turns golden brown.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the heavy cream and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shredded or diced chicken and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and mix until evenly coated in the sauce. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the cornbread topping according to the instructions on the cornbread mix box. Typically, this involves combining the mix with milk, an egg, and optionally a tablespoon of honey.

Step 7

Pour the cornbread mixture over the chicken filling in the baking dish, spreading it out gently so it covers the filling completely.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Allow the pot pie to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful meal with your family or guests!
