The skin, bones, etc. from the roasted chicken also creates a beautiful broth for the filling's base. ***See my profile for a beautiful roasted chicken recipe***

Ingredients and spices that need to be Take to make Chicken Pot Pie:

1. 1/4 cup Butter (add 1 tablespoon oil to elevate burn point)
2. 1 cup Finely Diced Onion
3. 1 cup Finely Diced Carrot
4. 1 cup Finely Diced Celery
5. 3-4 cups Shredded Cooked Chicken Or Turkey
6. 1/4 cup Flour
7. 3 cups sodium free Chicken Broth, plus More If Needed
8. 1/4 cup white wine (Chardonnay preferred for buttery infusion)
9. 1 teaspoon thyme
10. 1 teaspoon basil
11. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
12. 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
13. To taste Salt And Pepper
14. 1/4 cup Half-and-half Or Cream (only if wanting a thicker/heavier filling)
15. 1 Unbaked Pie Crust (see my profile for recipe)
16. 1 Egg
17. 2 Tablespoons Water

Steps to make to make Chicken Pot Pie

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
2. Melt the butter/oil mixture in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots, and celery. Stir them around until the onions start to slightly caramelize, about 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the top and stir it until it’s all combined with the vegetables. Cook for ~2 minutes, then pour in the wine to deglaze any delicious bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 more minute.
4. Toss in the chicken and pour in the chicken broth and stir it around and let it cook and thicken. This can cook anywhere from 10-90 minutes depending on how much time you have and how thick you want your filling (I go for about 20-30 mins to keep things lighter; the roasted chicken and broth already provide the flavor I'm looking for).
5. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Do not salt too early as the filling will get saltier as it reduces. Finally, (if using) add the cream once the mixture is off the burners.
6. Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and lay it into a greased pie dish (same some for the top). Some people do not use a bottom crust for a pot pie, but I prefer the flaky crunch on both sides after it is done cooking.
7. Pour the filling onto the pie dough and cover with the top layer of dough.
8. Mix the egg and water together. Brush the top surface of the crust. *It is ok to have some left over*
9. Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly. To note - your filling is cooked, we are really just focused on the crust here. Keep an eye on your pie and pull it out when the crust reaches the golden brown color you are looking for.
10. Serve on plates (or bowls if you like your filling a little looser) and top with a little more chopped parsley.
