About This Recipe
There's something wonderful about a bubbling-hot chicken potpie coming from the oven, especially as the weather turns cold. I can recall the very first one I made — Sultan had just come home from a long day at work, and I surprised him with a rustic, homemade chicken potpie. As he saw the food, he had a big, tired smile on his face as he headed to the kitchen. That buttery golden crust, creamy filling, and the comforting smell drifting throughout the house? Total comfort food bliss!
Tools for the Best Chicken Potpie Recipe
To whip up this cozy Chicken Potpie Recipe, you’ll just need kitchen basics: a 9-inch pie dish, saucepan, skillet, mixing bowls, and trusty tools like a whisk and rolling pin.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup diced carrots
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup milk
2 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 cup frozen peas
2 9-inch pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until soft (about 5 minutes). Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and thyme to coat the veggies.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Cook, stirring, until thickened (5–7 minutes). Stir in cooked chicken and peas. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Place one pie crust into the pie dish. Pour the warm filling into the crust. Top with the second crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the top to vent steam. Brush with egg wash.
Step 5
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
