Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set the filling aside.

Step 6

Roll out one of the pie crusts and lay it into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides of the dish.

Step 7

Pour the filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Place the second pie crust over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or pinching with your fingers. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.

Step 9

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
