Description
A delicious chicken pot pie made with tender chicken, savory vegetables, and a flaky crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken tenders (approx. 5 tenders)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 ribs celery, diced (approx. 3/4 cup)
- 1 medium onion, diced (approx. 1 cup)
- 3 carrots, sliced (approx. 1 cup)
- 1 tsp ground thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 unbaked pie crust (or biscuits or puff pastry)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- In the insert pot of the Instant Pot, combine chicken tenders, broth, celery, onion, carrots, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Close the lid and set the vent to the sealed position. Select a cook time of 4 minutes at high pressure.
- Once the cook time is complete, allow a natural release of pressure. After the pressure has released and the valve drops, carefully remove lid.
- Remove chicken to a cutting board.
- Whisk together flour and cream until lumps are gone, creating a slurry. Stir slurry into the hot broth in the insert pot, stirring well to combine.
- Add frozen peas to the broth and cream mixture.
- Shred or chop chicken as desired, then return to the broth and stir to combine.
- To prepare a traditional chicken pot pie, pour filling into a deep dish pie plate and top with prepared pie crust. Use a fork to prick a few holes into the top of the crust. Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
- To prepare as a chicken pot pie casserole, use a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or the rim of a glass to cut small rounds out of the prepared pie crust dough (or biscuits or puff pastry, if preferred). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake as directed until golden brown.
- Scoop filling into bowls and serve with rounds of pie crust, biscuits, or puff pastry.
Notes
- This pie can also be made as a casserole for easier serving.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
