  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 stalks celery, sliced
  • 10 baby carrots, sliced
  • 2 medium yukon potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1-3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning (such as Old Bay)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2-1/2 cup cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 box refrigerated pie crust (like Pillsbury), brought to room temperature

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Begin by sauteing your onion with the butter in a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Add the garlic and celery, heat until just softened.

Step 3

In a separate pot, bring water to boiling. Add carrot slices, then potatoes. Heat until just tender.

Step 4

Stir in flour and whisk quickly until well blended.

Step 5

Slowly add chicken broth, whisking immediately.
Add seasonings and continue to mix.

Step 6

Add milk, and whisk often keeping pot over medium heat until thick.

Step 7

Once sauce has fairly thickened, add carrots and potatoes, frozen peas, then the shredded chicken.
Mix to combine.

Step 8

Roll the first refrigerated pie crust into a pie dish, cutting any excess crust off the edge.
Fill the crust with the warm pot pie mixture.

Step 9

Cover with the second pie crust. Center the crust over the bottom one, then flute the edges.

Step 10

Cut a few slits in the center of the crust so steam can escape while it cooks, and bake for about 50 minutes. During the last 15-20 minutes, cover the edges of the crust with foil or pie crust savers.
