Ingredients

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 3/4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh sage

Meat

  • 1 cup chopped cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

Dairy & Baking

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Liquids

  • 1 cup chicken stock

Other

  • Store-bought frozen pie crust (such as Pillsbury)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pot pie after the filling is ready.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron recommended), heat 3/4 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for 3-5 minutes until softened. Stir in fresh sage and thyme, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add Peas and Butter: Add the frozen peas to the skillet. Cook until the peas have thawed and warmed through. Then add 2 tbsp butter and stir it until melted and fully combined with the vegetables.
  4. Incorporate Flour and Chicken: Sprinkle in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir continuously to coat all ingredients evenly. Once combined, add the cooked chopped chicken and stir well to distribute it throughout the mixture.
  5. Add Liquids and Thicken: Slowly pour in 1 cup chicken stock and 1 cup heavy whipping cream. Stir constantly and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens to a creamy consistency. Remove the skillet from heat once thickened.
  6. Assemble and Bake: Carefully lay the frozen pie crust over the filling in the skillet. You can place it whole, make a lattice, or cut into shapes as desired. If using a large piece of dough, poke holes with a fork to allow steam to escape. Place the skillet in the oven and bake at 350°F for 20-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Using a rotisserie chicken saves prep time and adds flavor.
  • The skillet must be oven-safe; cast iron is ideal.
  • If desired, brush the crust with an egg wash for extra golden color.
  • Ensure ventilation by poking holes in the crust to prevent sogginess.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
