You are seriously going to love it! The best part is, it\u2019s the perfect meal all on it\u2019s own. I definitely love it with some <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/instant-pot-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">mashed potatoes<\/a> and fresh vegetables like this <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/chilled-cucumber-tomato-salad\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">chilled cucumber tomato salad<\/a>.

You can find exact measurements below in the recipe card.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-chicken-pot-pie\">Chicken Pot Pie<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pie Crust: <\/strong>I absolutely love this <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/grandmas-perfect-pie-crust\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">homemade pie crust recipe<\/a>, I think you will too!

You don\u2019t have to do anything special, just cook the filling in a pan before baking it. You will cook the vegetables until they are aldente, because you are still cooking them in the oven for an hour afterward. Other than that, there is nothing to worry about with this recipe!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Prep Crust: <\/strong>Prepare the pie crust by rolling out one crust to place in the bottom of a deep dish 9\u2033 pie dish.

Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until soft and tender for about 5 minutes. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make Roux:<\/strong> In a large stock pot, melt \u00bc cup butter. Stir in the flour and whisk to make a roux. The mixture will look like a paste. This helps to thicken the filling<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whisk Liquids In: <\/strong>Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Seasonings:<\/strong> Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, parsley, thyme, nutmeg, and chicken bouillon.

It is a totally classic recipe, which means there is lots of room to play with the ingredients and the techniques. Try some of these alternative ingredients and substitutions to get the most out of this recipe!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add to the Filling:<\/strong> This is a pretty classic chicken pot pie recipe, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to keep it that way! You can absolutely add whatever you think would go great in this dish. I think other veggies like mushrooms and potatoes would be incredible. You can also change how you cook the vegetables, like caramelizing the onions first. Yum!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use A Different Protein:<\/strong> You can literally use whatever cooked protein you want in a chicken pot pie. Beef, turkey, ham, and even short ribs are all great options. You can also choose to keep this dish vegetarian by leaving out the protein, or using mushrooms instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep the Edges From Burning: <\/strong>When you are topping your chicken pot pie, make sure the edges of your crust are even or slightly below the center of the pie. You can pat the edges down if they get too tall. This will help to keep them from burning before the chicken pot pie is done. If they start to get too dark, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" alt=\"A slice of chicken pot pie on a plate with some on a fork.\" class=\"wp-image-199947\" title=\"There is nothing more comforting than this absolutely perfect chicken pot pie!
