Skillet chicken pot pie is a delicious and comforting dish that’s perfect for a cozy dinner. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed if frozen
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Make the sauce: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then gradually add chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken and peas: Stir in the diced chicken and frozen peas. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through and the peas are tender.
- Prepare the crust: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface until it’s slightly larger than the skillet you’re using. Place the pastry over the skillet, tucking the edges inside.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Serve: Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious skillet chicken pot pie!
Feel free to adjust the ingredients according to your taste preferences, and you can also customize by adding other vegetables like mushrooms or potatoes if you like.
