  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup sliced celery

Instructions
 

To make the pot pie, I follow these steps:

  • Step 1: In the large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until soft.
  • Step 2: Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Gradually whisk in broth and milk. Cook until thick.
  • Step 3: Add chicken, peas, and stir. Pour mixture into pie dish lined with one pie crust.
  • Step 4: Cover with the second crust. Seal and flute edges. Cut slits for steam.
  • Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let cool before serving.

It comes together beautifully in about an hour! ⏰🥧

    Notes

    I find these tips help when I'm making the pie:
    Crust Tips: If the edges brown too fast, I cover them with foil.
    Veggie Variations: Sometimes, I add mushrooms or corn, depending on what's in season.
    Storage: I store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days.
    Make Ahead: Preparing the chicken and veggies a day early saves time.
    These tricks make the recipe even more enjoyable and versatile! 💡📝
