Chicken Pot Pie
This is comfort food squared! The rich, creamy filling and flaky crust are made without cream or butter. It comes together quickly so have all your ingredients chopped before starting.- Jenny Jones
Prep Time: 35 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Makes: 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chicken stock (I use Swanson’s unsalted)
- 1 cup milk (I use whole milk)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 boneless chicken breasts (about 1 pound) cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 carrots, sliced 1/8-inch thick (1 cup)
- 2 stalks celery, sliced 1/8-inch thick (1 cup)
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed on a paper towel
- 3/4 teaspoon salt (less if using salted stock)
- pepper to taste
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (I use avocado oil)
- 1/3 cup milk (I use 2% milk)
- Egg wash (one egg yolk + 1 teaspoon water)
Filling:
Crust:
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together stock, milk, and flour until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in your biggest pan over med-high heat. Cook and stir onion, carrot, & celery for 2 minutes.
- Add chicken. Cook & stir for 2 minutes.
- Stir in peas followed by chicken stock mixture, salt & pepper. Cook, uncovered, for about 2 minutes until thick.
- Pour into a 9-inch deep dish pie pan. Set aside, uncovered.
- Combine flour and salt in a bowl.
- Add oil & milk all at once. Stir with a fork.
- Shape into a 5-inch disc and place between 2 sheets of floured wax paper. Roll into a 12-inch circle.
- Brush rim of pie pan with eggwash.
- Gently remove crust from wax paper by draping it over your arm and place onto pie. Trim away or flute overhanging crust, pressing down edges.
- Brush entire crust & edges with eggwash. With a sharp knife, poke about a dozen holes in the top to release steam.
- Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes. Let stand 20 minutes before serving.

Jenny, I love all your recipes and sometime with this one I substitute a rotisserie chicken after sautéing my vegetables, just the white meat. Is this OK? I am making it today and am out of fresh chicken breasts.
Thank you for all your healthy recipes and your humor.Reply to this comment

It looks delicious and ingredients are exactly what I have wanted in a search.
I would love to make this pie for company, but want to use bottom and top crust, but wonder how the bottom crust is prepared before the filling is added.
(I have two rolled crusts ready)
Thanks so much.

I am really looking forward to making the dish as I love it but have not eaten or made it because of the fat and the calories. You have given a healthy version and I cannot wait to make it.
I would like to know whether I should use Bleached or Unbleached All Purpose flower.

We had our cabinets refinished yesterday and our floors done today so we’ve been busy. Nothing sounds better than homemade chicken pot pie, though, so I’m excited for this! Thanks for sharing!

This one is a pure and simple pot pie, delicious but not rich, just what I was looking for after the holidays. I often add herbs and spices, sometimes even cranberries and nuts, sometimes curry, but this one is like a basic launchpad for other recipes, delicious even plain. It lets the ingredients stand out on their own merit.

I had to change the crust to a gluten free one and the flour to cornstarch.
It all turned out great.

Hi Jenny. I’ve been making this pot pie for my daughter and granddaughter for years and they love it so much that after I made it, the next day they wanted me to make another one. It is so delish and I love making it. QUESTION: would almond milk be ok to use instead of whole milk? If so, should I use more than recipe calls for? Thank you so much for a great recipe. By the way, 💜 your videos. Be well Jenny.😊

Yummy! No kidding, this was exactly as the video and as described. Healthy, super simple, tasty and perfect for a fall-ish day here in Western New York. I did cheat a little and use a store-bought frozen top crust because I was out of vegetable oil and my husband did not care for olive oil. I will definitely make this again.
Thank you Jenny! You are amazing at how you describe the recipes and they are delicious and a lot healthier. I even pick up some of the same tools you use – I just love your kitchen decor and you are beautiful! 🙂

Thanks for this Delicious Quickie Pot Pie , Jenny! Came together in 15 mins once the veggies were prepped and the chicken cubed (boneless thighs for me). This combo was really good esp b/c the veggie shapes and sizes fit together so nicely in the crust and were able to cook evenly. I’ve used cubed raw potatoes which extends the cooking time a little and makes the other ingredients a little mushy. I didn’t miss them (or the calories)!
As a southern cook I’m partial to adding spices for flavor in sauces and gravies, so the ones I use when roasting a chicken were *mwaah* in this. A 1/2 tsp of paprika, garlic and onion powder, with a skosh of ground nutmeg spiced the ‘gravy’ to perfection. Love the oil crust too, surprised it didn’t need to be chilled before rolling, but without the butter, not required – greaaat idea and will use that recipe over The Red Box from the store any day.

This is foolproof. The “cream” sauce is the best part- I will use this basic method from now on for Thanksgiving gravy. No lumps!
Every recipe I’ve tried from Jennie’s kitchen has come out with no issues. Thanks for the specific directions and, most of all, the humor.
Jenny’s the best!

I made this for the first time yesterday. Very easy and fast to make. I enjoyed it very much. I couldn’t find my dish to use so I used a 9-inch cake pan. It was the perfect size. The only change I made was to the crust. I just did not want to roll out a crust. I used nine sheets of phyllo dough which can be found in the freezer section at grocers. It was fantastic. I forgot to put a tray under the pie and it bubbled over into the stove so I have to clean that up. I will definitely be making this again and again and again.
Next Jenny recipe to try? Mac and cheese!

We enjoyed this dish. It was easy and quick to mix together. The only problem I had was the crust wasn’t quite done and it was very difficult to roll it thin enough. My ball of dough didn’t come together nearly as easily as Jenny’s did. I had to work it quite a bit to have it stick together…..so wasn’t as flaky in the end as I would have liked. I think 25 minutes wasn’t enough to heat it and cook the crust. Will try again and add some cooking time.Thanks for the recipe. Very tasty!

Try phyllo dough next time. You won’t be disappointed. You can buy it at most grocers in the freezer section. My Safeway had the best price at $3.50 for a 1 pound box. I used half of the box and re-froze, which can be done, the rest of it. Try it. You will like it. This makes the recipe even easier and faster.

This was sooo good! I mean sooo good!! I had made chicken, onions and mushrooms two nights before and had leftovers, so I used that for my chicken and followed everything else Jenny. Well, I did omit peas because I can’t stand ‘em, and added corn. If I had any kale or spinach I would’ve chopped some up and put it in. That crust was easy and delicious. You were absolutely correct when you said to just make it and see, Jenny. You are apply named because Jenny, you CAN cook.

Great recipe! I made and assembled it earlier in the day. Added Fresh ground nutmeg, ground sage, dried thyme and garlic powder to sauce.Let cool a bit. Put crust on (the easiest crust ever), placed plastic wrap over pie and refrigerated. Brought to room temp while oven heating. Put egg wash on and made vent slashes. Baked at 400 for 45 minutes. It was excellent. Thanks for a yummy dish.

I made a chicken pot pie from an “easy” recipe from the internet, but used a recipe which I use for an oil based pie crust, instead of the “purchased piecrust” given in the recipe. I always like to have crust on the bottom as well as on the top because I like the crust so much. The”easy”” recipe I used was done with canned mixed vegetabes (faster but not better). It also used “cream of potato soup” (Cambell’s). I also used the canned chicken we had in our food storage because we could get no chicken du ring the Coved-19 Pandemic.
I like using “thyme” for a seasoning with this.Have I seen Jenny on the BYU channel, some time ago? She is awesome!!!

This is for gluten intolerants.
I made this today using Bob’s Red Mill brown rice flour in lieu of all -purpose.. The topping was not rollable (needs more liquid?) so it went on more as a crumble BUT it turned out well – crisp and tasty. I used the egg wash.
Since my wife likes potatoes, I added a cup of diced potato. Also added thyme,tarragon and poultry seasoning..
Thanks Jenny. Great recipe!

I’ve tried several other recipes and haven’t liked the result. Yours came out wonderful and the taste was excellent. I needed to ditch those cans of soup recipes and find a from scratch recipe. This was perfect and I will be making it again soon.

Hi,
Awesome video. My husband needs to gain weight and has to avoid dairy. Do you think I could use coconut milk in place of milk? Or any other suggestions? He might be able to tolerate almond milk. He can tolerate rice milk.I saw a couple comments about the double crust and being soggy. Do you have any up to date info on using a double crust?

Made this last night – with minor adjustments – to rave “reviews!”
1) In an oval (8 1/4″ x 6 1/4″ x 3″ deep) vintage Pyrex baking dish…needed only HALF crust recipe.
2) Seasoned with Mrs. Dash garlic+herb, White pepper, and sage.
3) Added Kitchen-Bouquet and soy sauce to turn sauce “tan,” as I did not like it white.
4) Cut chicken in approx.1/2″x1+” mini-strips (I like smaller bites!).
5) Had to substitute frozen corn for peas as, oops, didn’t have any on hand.Thanks so-o-o much for the foil pan-liner trick cuz it really bubbled over!
This is on my Winter-Comfort-Food list for sure. But why, oh why, did it take me so many years to “try this at home?”

One of my husbands favorites and now that the weather here in the midwest is cooler, I made it again tonight. This is not bland and doesn’t taste floury if you cook in the skillet till it is thick and rich. Cheated on the crust and used refrigerated, but this is by far one of my favorites. Thanks, Jenny, for some really good home cooked recipes without the fluff and pretense of so many cooks!

I made this tonight,normally I use herbs and spices, but that is not how I grew up, my Mom did not like herbs, making this as directed gave me a chance to have supper just like Mom would have made 45 years ago. Thank you!

Hi Jenny, I don’t know if you make dishes with shredded chicken, but I just learned a trick from Jennifer L. Scott of The Daily Connoisseur, who has 4 children and often does freezer cooking in large batches. Anyway, her trick to shred chicken quickly is to cook several breasts in broth in a crock pot overnight on low (but you can do it on the stove, too) and then drain the broth to save and put the breasts into your Kitchen Aid with the paddle attachment and turn it on. Voila! Shredded chicken in no time!

Thank you so much. This was very easy and my wife and kids loved it. We cooked the chicken breasts in a slow cooker and added that shredded chicken instead of frying. We also used frozen peas and carrots for the veggies. I’ll use fresh veggies when I have more time. Thanks again!

This pot pie LOOKED delicious, so I tried it. As I was making it, I had doubts about the short cooking times for the veggies and chicken, and also for all that flour used in the sauce. No herbs or spices added…. Doubts! The crust recipe seemed interesting but very little salt added. More doubts! Well, I guess it’s just me, but the pie was incredibly bland. The sauce tasted floury and was too dry! The crust had no taste at all! Needed more salt, at the very least. So this pie was supposed to be healthy. Maybe more so than others but yuk! Not worth it!!

Ok Julie, so I thought I was the only one. While the filling and crust looked amazing – just watching her make it gave huge doubt as far as flavor. This recipe only has salt and pepper?!?! No thyme, bay leaf, parsley, garlic (all classic flavors in pot pie)? And herbs and aromatics only add to the natural flavor – not calories. As far as the crust- pie crust basically has 3-4 ingredients; flour, fat, salt, liquid. Butter is used as the fat as it lends flavor to the crust AND has no less redeeming qualities healthwise as canola oil. Would have to make major tweaks to make this recipe.

Elaine, I wish I had read your comment before putting my pie in the oven. Seasonings, I totally forgot besides salt and pepper. I did a lattice top with puffed pastry since I didn’t have enough pie dough. Not to waste anything, I used what pie dough I had on the bottom. I hope this turns out ok. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Jenny. I’m Susan and 100% polish. My mother used to make the best Kapusta soup. She sadly passed away in 2006, and I haven’t had it since. She used to tell me when I was younger that different regions in Poland made their food their own way, so each recipe for the soup was different. My Babci—my mother’s mom—came from Krakow, Poland and her Kapusta was not soupy like most are. I want to say it almost had the same consistency as Split Pea Soup. She might have even put little yellow peas in it, but I can’t quite remember exactly. I’m reaching out to you to see if there was any way you can help me figure out a recipe for it or one similar to it? I’ve been trying for years to find someone who knows a recipe but no-one in my family, or any close friends can recall the one my mother & our family has used.
I also wanted to express my love for your channel. Your way of cooking is exquisite and I very much enjoy watching and learning your recipes you share with us online!I hope you’re having a great Friday afternoon and continue to have a great weekend. Hope to hear from you, soon.
Thank you in advance,
Sincerely,
Susan L.

Susan L., I hope by now you’ve found recipes for Kapusta. If not, just type it into google and recipes will come up along with some YouTube videos. I’m actually going to try the recipe because you peaked my interest. Have a great day.

Jenny, you are just the best healthy cook on you tube. I love watching your videos as they are so light in humor, informative, and give me courage to embark on new recipes. I love you, Jenny!
I was about to give away my two pie plates after having such embarrassing fails with pie crust. Instead, I shall try again with this wonderful easy recipe.
I will be making this recipe for dinner for todays Pi Day (3/14)!
Love being on your email for new recipes and have made many of them. Keep sending those and I hope you will make some more videos soon (I have seen them ALL)!

Hi Jenny!! I grew up watching your talk show with my mom & sisters and was so excited to see you have a cooking website! It brought back so many fun memories of sitting with them each episode to see you. I made your pot pie last night during a snow storm here in the Midwest and it was the perfect comfort food to make & eat while watching the snow fall! The leftovers were delicious as well. I used a bag of frozen mixed veggies instead of fresh and came out beautifully. This is definitely a keeper!!

Nice fall dinner with a salad. You are right, Jenny, don’t make the crust with WW flour. I used white WW (all I had) and it was okay, but not the best.

Love this!!! This was my first time making chicken pot pie ever and I just loved it. My crust was not glamorous because I don’t really have a rolling pin but I didn’t taste anything wrong with it. My husband didn’t like my crust but he said the filling was really delicious. Love your channel and your recipes Jenny!

If you don’t have a rolling pin, you can always use a bottle, like a wine bottle instead.
