Need chicken pot pie recipe

Does anyone have a great tasting chicken pot pie recipe? The recipes I’ve found seem so “blah” tasting. I would like to make individual single portion sizes and freeze them. Then all daughter has to do is pop one in the oven when she’s hungry. It’s a nice homemade healthy super for when things are too hectic at home to cook a delicious healthy meal. She likes the frozen pot pies you buy at the supermarket but I’d like to make them homemade instead. Thanks! :smiley:

Here’s a couple different ones i have a few more if you would like them

Chicken Pot Pie With Chive Mashed Potato Crust

1/2 Cup. butter

1/4 Cup. finely chopped onion

5 Tablespoon. flour

3 Cups. chicken broth

1 Cup. carrots, cut in 1/2-inch dice

1 teaspoon. salt

1/2 teaspoon. fresh ground black pepper

1 teaspoon. chopped fresh sage, or 1/2 t. dried

1 cup milk

1 Cup. fresh or frozen and defrosted corn kernels

1 Cup. fresh or frozen and defrosted petite peas

3 Cups. cooked chicken
In a 4-quart saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the onion for 2 minutes, until it begins to soften. Add the flour and whisk until it bubbles. Gradually whisk in the broth, stirring until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots, salt, pepper and sage, stirring until the sauce begins to simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the milk, corn, peas and chicken, simmering for another 3 minutes. Pour the filling into a 3-quart casserole. Refrigerate until ready to bake.

Chive Mashed Potatoes:

2 1/2 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled, and cut into 1-inch cubes

5 Tablespoon. butter

1 teaspoon. salt

1/4 teaspoon. freshly ground black pepper

2 Tablespoon. chopped fresh chives

1/4 Cup. heavy cream or milk

For Chive Mashed Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a 4-quart saucepan with water to cover. Boil the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender, when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pan. Shake the pan over medium heat to dry the potatoes. Add 4 tablespoons butter, the salt, pepper and chives, mashing the potatoes to the desired degree of smoothness. Blend in the cream and stir to combine. Spread the potatoes over the chicken filling and dot with remaining tablespoon of butter.

Bake the pot pie in preheated 375°F. oven for 30-40 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown.

Note: This can be frozen before baking; thaw in refrigerator and bring to room temperature before baking.

Makes 6-8 servings.

Chicken Pot Pie w/ Corn Meal Biscuit Crust

Ingredients
This dish is surprisingly quick and a real favorite of mine.

For the pot pie filling:

3 tablespoons butter or oil
1 onion, sliced thin
1 1/2 - 2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup sliced carrots*
1 cup peas or green beans
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh sage, or one teaspoon dried
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper to taste
16 oz. chicken, boneless and skinless, cut in 1/2 inch dice
2 Tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup dry white wine (you can skip this and use an additional 1/4 cup chicken broth if you prefer)
1 tablespoon corn starch

For the cornmeal biscuit crust:
3/4 cup corn meal, preferably stone ground
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
1 egg

Instructions
Pre heat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 9x13 baking pan lightly with oil or butter.

To prepare the pot pie filling:

Heat one tablespoon of the butter or oil in a skillet and saute the onions for about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes then add the remaining vegetables and seasonings all at once. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, then remove the cooked vegetables to a side dish and set aside.

While the vegetables are cooking, add the chicken to flour and toss to coat. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter or oil in the emptied skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken and any remaining flour and stir until chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. Mix in broth and the cooked vegetables. Bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat, cover skillet and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Whisk white wine and corn starch together until smooth and add. Increase the heat, stir constantly until the mixture boils for 2 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper and pour the contents of the skillet into the 9x13 pan.

To prepare the corn meal biscuit crust:

Combine the corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into the corn and flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands till it resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add the milk and egg. Mix briefly with a wooden spoon to moisten, do not over mix.

Drop the biscuit mix by the spoonful onto the pot pie filling. Place it evenly over the surface and the edges, leaving some of the filling visible. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the biscuits are a deep golden yellow and the edges are browned. Serves 5-6.

  • You may use any other combination of vegetables you prefer, such as celery, turnips, corn, okra, peas, etc. The total amount should be about 2 cups . Frozen vegetables can simply be added when the broth is poured into the chicken, no need to pre-cook them.
