A comforting and classic chicken pot pie made simple with rotisserie chicken, frozen vegetables, and store-bought puff pastry. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in thyme, rosemary, and nutmeg.
Add shredded chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through.
Pour the chicken mixture into a 9-inch pie plate or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
Carefully place the thawed puff pastry over the filling. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
Place the pie plate on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
To prevent a soggy bottom, ensure your filling is not too watery. You can also pre-bake the bottom crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
You can add other vegetables like green beans or potatoes.
This recipe can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
