Ingredients:
Cooked Chicken: About 2 cups, shredded or cubed.
Vegetables: A mix of diced carrots, peas, and corn (about 2 cups in total).
Onion: 1 small, finely chopped.
Garlic: 2 cloves, minced.
Chicken Broth: 2 cups.
Heavy Cream: ½ cup.
Flour: ⅓ cup, for thickening.
Butter: 2 tablespoons.
Herbs: Thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste.
Pie Crust: 1 sheet, either homemade or store-bought.
Egg: 1, for egg wash (optional).
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the Vegetables: In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, peas, and corn. Cook until the onions are translucent and the carrots are tender.
Add Garlic and Flour: Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for a minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Add Liquids: Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for a few minutes.
Add Chicken and Herbs: Add the cooked chicken, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir everything to combine and cook for a few minutes more.
Top with Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust and lay it over the skillet, covering the chicken and vegetable mixture. Trim any excess crust and make slits in the top to allow steam to escape. If desired, brush the crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Cool and Serve: Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Be careful as the skillet and filling will be very hot.
Enjoy your homemade Skillet Chicken Pot Pie, a comforting and hearty meal perfect for any day of the week!
