Ingredients for creamy chicken pot pie
Thawed Pie Crust- Use this for the base of your pot pie. It’s buttery and flaky, perfect for holding all that creamy goodness.
Butter- Four tablespoons to sauté the onions and create a rich roux.
Diced Onion- One medium onion adds a sweet, aromatic flavor.
Paprika- Just a pinch for a hint of smoky flavor.
Chicken Broth- One and three-quarter cups to create a savory base for the sauce.
Heavy Cream- Half a cup for that luscious creamy texture.
Flour- One-third cup to thicken the sauce.
Salt and Pepper- Half a teaspoon of each to season the sauce.
Garlic Powder- A quarter teaspoon for extra flavor.
Cajun Seasoning- Half a teaspoon to add a little kick.
Italian Seasoning- A quarter teaspoon for a blend of herbs.
Carrots- A quarter cup for some sweetness and color.
Peas- Half a cup for a pop of green & veggie intake.
Frozen Corn- Three-quarters of a cup for added sweetness and texture.
Shredded Chicken- One pound of tender, cooked chicken to make this pie hearty.
Thawed Puff Pastry Sheet- For a beautiful, flaky top crust.
Egg and Water- One egg and a tablespoon of water, whisked together for an egg wash that gives the pastry a golden finish.
How to make chicken pot pie
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a pie dish and line it with the thawed pie crust. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and cook the onions until translucent.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Add heavy cream, seasonings, veggies, and chicken, stirring to combine. Pour the mixture into the pie dish. Top with puff pastry, trim the excess, and cut a cross in the center.
Brush with egg wash. Bake for 35 minutes until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust, thawed
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 onion , medium, diced
- Paprika
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup carrots
- 1/2 cup peas
- 3/4 cup frozen corn
- 1 lb shredded chicken
- 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit.
- Lightly grease the pie dish with cooking spray or butter & line the bottom with the thawed pie crust and set aside. (You can bake the pie dish for 10 minutes, this way it won’t be soggy on the bottom in the end, but this is totally optional. I actually like it a bit soggy haha.”
- In a skillet over medium heat melt the butter, add the onions and cook until translucent, put those arms to work and stir constantly, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the flour & cook it while stirring for about 1 minute. Add in the chicken broth and whisk or stir together with the flour mixture until there are no more lumps.
- Add in the heavy cream & stir. Add all your seasonings and stir until incorporated in the mixture. It should be thicker and creamy at this point (and sound like some ill na-na, ha). Add in the veggies and chicken. Stir to combine.
- Put the mixture into the pie dish & smooth it out. Place the puff pastry on top and cut off the excess pastry hangin on the sides. Cut a cross in the center of the pie so the pie can breathe while baking.
- Whisk together the egg and water. Lightly brush the mixture over the top of the puff pastry.
- Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes when finished.
- Eat & enjoy!
