Ingredients:
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 carrots, diced
– 2 celery stalks, diced
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 3 tablespoons butter
– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon curry powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 store-bought pie crust
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned.
3. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
5. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
6. Add the curry powder, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
7. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional minute.
8. Roll out the store-bought pie crust and place it over the skillet, trimming off any excess dough. Use a cookie cutter to create decorative cutouts from the remaining dough and arrange them on top of the pie.
9. Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
10. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
