Ingredients
For this delicious Chicken Pot Pie, you will need the following ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 2 cups chicken broth, 1/4 cup half-and-half, 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, 1 cup diced carrots, 1 cup diced celery, 1 cup frozen peas, 1/2 cup frozen corn, 1/2 cup frozen green beans, 1/2 cup diced onion, 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
Instructions
To make this Chicken Pot Pie, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Cook for about 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Gradually add the chicken broth and half-and-half, whisking until the mixture is smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken, carrots, celery, peas, corn, green beans, and onion to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish that has been lined with the unbaked pie crust. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
