Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 0.5 cup ice water

Filling

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 0.5 cup frozen peas
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Crust Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk or cream until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
  • Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

Assembly and Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim any excess dough.
  • Pour the chicken filling into the pie crust.
  • Roll out the second disc of dough into an 11-inch circle. Place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut several vents in the top crust.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the pot pie cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For an extra rich flavor, you can add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the filling. If you prefer a single-crust pie, simply omit the top crust and bake until the filling is bubbly.
