A classic chicken pot pie with a creamy white sauce, tender vegetables, and a flaky golden crust.
2 cups diced chicken breast
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup peas
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
4 individual pie crust dough rounds
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add onion, carrots, celery, and peas; sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until sauce thickens.
Add diced chicken, salt, pepper, and thyme; cook until chicken is heated through and filling is creamy.
Divide the filling among the pie crust dough rounds placed in individual pie tins or ramekins.
Cover each with a second crust if desired, sealing edges and cutting slits for steam.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling bubbles.
Let cool slightly before serving on white ceramic plates.
