Chicken pot pie casserole
Sometimes we all need a hearty and filling comfort food, and this creamy chicken pot pie casserole is just the delicious recipe you may be looking for! It is similar to a traditional chicken pot pie, but even easier to make!
Equipment
- 1 bowl large
- 1 saucepan large
- 1 spatula
- 1 whisk
- 1 9x13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust, homemade or pre-made cut into 3" circles
- 3 cups cooked chicken diced or shredded
- ⅓ cup yellow onion diced
- ½ cup carrots sliced
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ½ cup frozen green beans
- ½ cup sweet corn drained
- ¼ cup celery sliced
- 1 egg large, separated yolk and white
- 1 tbsp water
Pot pie filling
- ⅓ cup butter
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1¾ cups chicken broth
- ⅔ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Combine your cooked chicken, carrots, peas, green beans, celery, and corn in a large bowl.
- Start making your filling for your pot pie. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and whisk until the butter and flour make a thick paste.
- Slowly stir in the broth and milk, stirring constantly as you slowly pour it into the flour and butter mixture.
- Add the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the filling and allow it to bubble and thicken for 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Pour the filling over the pot pie ingredients and stir to coat the ingredients.
- Pour the pot pie into a lightly greased 9x13 casserole dish.
- Lay the cut out pie circles on top of the filling and brush the top of the pie circles with the egg wash. Make the egg wash by combining the white of one large egg and 1 tablespoon of water together and whisking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the pie crust is golden brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy.
Notes
- If you would prefer, you can use your choice of frozen mixed vegetables instead of fresh vegetables.
- Rotisserie chicken is a good option if you don't want to precook your chicken. You can get it with seasonings or without.
- This casserole, served with a good salad, makes for a complete delicious dinner.
- Make sure you stir constantly while making the roux part of the sauce. This will prevent lumpiness and help it to thicken consistently.
- Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes, or until it is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
