Chicken pot pie, it’s a simple and delicious food perfect for a cold winter meal . I like cleaning out the fridge and throwing it all in! ( veggies) But, I’m keeping this one  simple. This is a perfect meal for leftover chicken, or for a rotisserie chicken from the market.

What You Need

1 Lb chicken ( boned and skinless, pre cooked or leftovers)

1 Tbsp olive oil

I Large white onion (chopped)

4 Carrots (cleaned peeled and diced, sliced or julienne)

2 Cups broccoli (cleaned and cut into small florets)

3 Tbsp flour

2 Cups milk

½ Cup chicken broth

1 Cup geen peas ( frozen is fine)

1 Tbsp fresh thyme

Salt and black pepper

1 Package Phyllo dough

2 Qrt baking crock or baking dish

Large Saucepan

Baking sheet

Aluminum foil

  Before You Start Preheat oven to 400° F. Cook the chicken let cool, then cut into bite sized pieces

  Lets Make It! Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, add onions, carrots, and broccoli, cook and stir until softened ( about 5-10 minutes) don’t let them brown. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook a bit longer ( about 2 minutes) stirring occasionally.  Add the chicken broth and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the milk and simmer until the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes.) Stir in the chicken, peas, (other veggies you may have) thyme, salt, and pepper, mix well then transfer it all to your baking dish.  Lay the phyllo dough over the top pressing around the edges to seal.  Loosely cover with aluminum foil ( like a tent) Place the baking dish onto a baking sheet and cook  for about 15 minutes then remove foil and continue cooking until bubbling and the crust is golden,about 15-20 more minutes.

Serves 4- 6
