How To Make homemade chicken pot pie

  • Slice the chicken breast to desired size.
    Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the chicken into the desired size.
  • Step 2
    Cook on the stovetop on medium heat. Once hot, add oil and chicken. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Once done, remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Step 3
    Dice the onion. Place onions and butter in the same pan you cooked your chicken in. Saute onions until softened.
  • Step 4
    Lightly sprinkle flour over onions. Stir for a few minutes; don't let it burn.
  • Step 5
    Once clumpy, add the chicken broth and milk. Stir to combine. Best to use a whisk to dissolve any flour. Simmer.
  • Step 6
    Once it's thickened, add the cooked chicken along with the chives, parsley, Italian seasoning (optional), salt, and pepper. Stir.
  • Step 7
    Add frozen veggies. Mix well. Stir occasionally.
  • Step 8
    Remove the pan from the stove. Place the bottom crust in a pie pan, 9 inch. Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork several times.
  • Step 9
    Add the mixture to the pie crust.
  • Step 10
    Add top crust, crimp edges closed. Brush a layer of whisked egg over the surface of the pie (optional). Cut a vent with a knife in the top of the crust.
  • Step 11
    Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown and flaky. Time may vary depending on the kind of pan you use.
  • Step 12
    Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
