  • 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (chopped or shredded. About 3/4 lb raw or 2 breasts)
  • 1 cup frozen peas (defrosted + drained of liquid)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a pan, heat olive oil. Sauté onion, garlic, carrots and celery until tender, about 5 minutes

  2. 2

    Add spices, flour and chicken broth, bring to a boil while stirring.

  3. 3

    Once boiling, add in milk, stirring constantly as it thickens.

  4. 4

    Stir in cooked chicken, frozen peas and corn.

  5. 5

    Pour your filling into a greased 9 inch pie plate.

  6. 6

    Preheat your oven to 375.

  7. 7

    Make your crust. This recipe only has a crust on top. Using a stand mixer or hand held mixture, beat flour, butter, salt, pepper and water until dough forms. It will be a little bit sticky.

  8. 8

    Roll your dough into a round ball and press flat. Place the dough on a floured surface or place between 2 sheets of wax paper and roll until it is large enough to cover your pie plate. Cover your pot pie filling with the crust and poke a hole in the center.

  9. 9

    Bake the pot pie at 375 for 35 mins. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes and enjoy.
