Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup minced yellow onion
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 pkg chicken gravy mix
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 1/2 cups diced cooked rotisserie chicken
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas & carrots
- 1 1/2 cups frozen diced hashbrowns
Crust
- 1 pkg pie crusts (top and bottom)
Instructions
- Sauté Onion: Over medium-high heat, melt the butter in a large pot and add the minced yellow onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add Flour and Cook: Stir in the flour and whisk continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue whisking and boil for 30 seconds to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Incorporate Liquids: Gradually whisk in chicken broth, milk, and water until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Add Gravy Mix and Seasonings: Stir in the chicken gravy mix, salt, and pepper. Continue boiling the mixture, whisking occasionally, until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Combine Filling Ingredients: Once thickened, stir in the diced cooked chicken, frozen peas & carrots, and frozen hashbrowns until evenly mixed.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Grease the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate and place one pie crust on the bottom, pressing it into the plate.
- Fill Pie: Pour the prepared pot pie filling into the crust-lined pie plate, spreading it evenly.
- Top and Seal: Place the second pie crust over the filling. Pinch the edges to seal and cover the crust edges with foil to prevent burning.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F. Keep the foil on the crust edges for the first 3 minutes, then remove it and bake for an additional 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pot pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This recipe makes comfort food quick and easy by using rotisserie chicken and frozen vegetables for convenience without compromising flavor.
- Covering the crust edges with foil prevents them from burning while allowing the rest of the crust to brown nicely.
- You can substitute the peas & carrots with other frozen mixed vegetables if preferred.
- Allowing the pot pie to cool slightly before serving helps the filling set for easier slices.
