Cold outside? Rough day? Make this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chicken Pot Pie is pure therapy. Creamy, savory filling. Buttery, flaky top. One pan, one baking dish, zero complicated moves. Use leftover or rotisserie chicken and you’re 15 minutes away from oven time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Serves 4-6.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed) OR 1 refrigerated pie crust<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 tbsp butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 yellow onion, diced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 carrots, diced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 celery stalks, diced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 garlic cloves, minced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u2153 cup all-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 cups chicken broth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup heavy cream or whole milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cover and refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days. The bottom crust softens\u2014that’s fine. Still delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reheat:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Oven at 350\u00b0F for 15 minutes. Microwave works but crust won’t stay crisp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freezer Friendly:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Assemble (don’t bake). Wrap tightly. Freeze up to 3 months. Bake from frozen at 400\u00b0F for 45-50 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
