Chicken Pot Pie, hold the veggies
When I say this is delicious and you need to make it, I mean it!
2 cooked shredded chicken breast, or you could use a rotisserie chicken
2 premade rollout pie crust
Half of a diced onion, I like sweet onions
4 mined garlic cloves or 1 tablespoon
Salt & pepper to taste
1 teaspoon each onion & garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika seasoning
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon of fresh or dried parsley
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons of salted butter, total
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Splash of heavy whipping cream
1 egg
I boil my chicken breast in seasoned water (chicken bullion, salt, pepper, garlic powder, bay leaves) for about 25 mins to cook them.
To a pot over low-medium heat add 1 tablespoon of butter (let melt), the diced onions and some salt. Cook down the onions for 10 mins, until semi translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 3 mins. Add onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, thyme and parsley then stir. After the seasoning have been mixed in, add the shredded chicken and stir. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, let it melt while stirring the chicken mixture. After the butter has melted, add 2 tablespoons of flour and stir. Slowly add the 1 1/2 of broth while stirring the mixture. Let it come up to a simmer and cook for 10-15 mins. Turn off the heat and add a splash of heavy whipping cream. Let it sit and cool down a little, make sure to taste. Extra salt will probably need to be added.
Roll out a pie crust and cover the bottom / sides of your pie dish, pressing down the dough. Pour your mixture into the dish. Top with the other pie crust and cut off extra dough with a knife from the sides. Crimp the edges of the pie crust, making sure to create a tight seal. Cut off extra dough after crimping, if needed. Cut slits into top of dough to create a vent. Whip / mix the 1 egg to create an egg wash. Brush egg onto top of dough and sprinkle some salt to finish it off.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes
PSA: Put the pie dish on top of a sheet pan in the oven. You can add veggies if you want, add them in after the chicken broth. I found the paprika seasoning at TJ Maxx & Marshalls. Let this cool down for at least 10 mins before digging in.
