Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Step 1

Put the potatoes and carrots in a large pot, and cover it with water. Cook over high heat until it boils for several minutes and potatoes and carrots are tender when poked with a fork, but don’t overcook. Drain water and set potatoes and carrots aside. While the veggies are cooking (or after the veggies cook), in a large pot, combine the butter and onion over medium heat, while the butter melts, stir often, cooking the onions. When onions are soft, add the flour and seasonings and mix well. Add the broth and milk. Stir until the gravy has thickened.

Step 2

Add the chicken, peas, corn, potatoes and carrots to the gravy and stir to combine.

Step 3

Prepare pie dish by lining it with an uncooked pastry crust. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the pie shell. Cover with the top pie crusts, and let the top layer overlap the bottom crust, pinching seams to seal, then fluting the edge of the seam.

Step 4

Crack an egg into a bowl and beat it. Brush the beaten egg over the top, then with a sharp knife, cut some slits in the top of the pie so it can vent steam. Bake in a preheated oven at 425ºF for 35-40 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before digging in. Enjoy!
