Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
2. Sauté vegetables: Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
3. Make the gravy: Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
4. Add chicken: Shred cooked chicken and add it back to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Make the top crust: In a small bowl, whisk together butter and flour until combined. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
6. Assemble the pie: Pour filling into a 9-inch pie dish. Roll out the pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim edges and crimp as desired.
7. Bake: Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
8. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a green salad.

Conclusion

This creamy chicken pot pie is a hearty and comforting meal that's perfect for any occasion. The flaky crust and creamy filling will satisfy your cravings and leave you feeling warm and cozy.
