Chicken Pot Pie

Dina Driggs
Chicken Pot Pie is good, old comfort food. The crust is made with butter and cream cheese which gives it an amazing flavor and makes it light and flakey. The inside is a béchamel sauce with cooked chicken, peas and carrots and sautéed onions.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Butter
  • 4 oz. Cream Cheese
  • 2 1/4 Cups Flour
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 4 Tbsp. Cold Water

Filling

  • 1 Onion
  • 1/2 Cup Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Flour
  • 3 Cups Milk
  • 3-4 Cups Cooked, Shredded Chicken
  • 14 oz. Frozen Peas and Carrots
  • *2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup

Egg Wash

  • 1 Egg
  • tsp. Water

Instructions
 

  • Make the crust.  Divide it into two pieces. Make one slightly bigger than the other. Bigger dough is for the bottom crust and smaller is for the top.  Pat into two discs then place in separate plastic bags.  Put these in the refrigerator while making the filling.
  • Sauté chopped onions in butter.  *Make béchamel sauce by adding flour and cooking for 2-3 minutes.  Slowly add milk and bring to a boil over medium heat. 
    *If you do not want to make a béchamel sauce use 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and reduce the butter to 2 Tbsp.
  • Add chopped chicken and frozen peas and carrots.  Heat through.  Place the lid on the pan and turn the heat to simmer while rolling out pie dough.
  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Roll out bottom crust and place in a deep dish pie plate.  Set aside.
  • Roll out the top layer and cut holes for steam.
  • Place filling in the bottom crust and then lay the top crust over the filling. 
  • Trim the edge and roll under and seal. 
  • Make the egg wash and brush on top crust.
  • Bake for 35 minutes until crust is golden brown.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
