Chicken Potpie

(Originally From Taste of Home)

Ingredients

  •  1-3/4 cups sliced carrots
  •  1 cup butter, cubed
  •  2/3 cup chopped onion
  •  1 cup all-purpose flour
  •  1-3/4 teaspoons salt
  •  1 teaspoon dried thyme
  •  3/4 teaspoon pepper
  •  3 cups chicken broth
  •  4 cups cubed cooked chicken
  •  1 cup frozen peas
  •  1 cup frozen corn
  •  2 packages (14.1 ounces each) refrigerated pie pastry
  • Preheat oven to 425°. Place potatoes and carrots in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, covered, 8-10 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender; drain.
  • In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Stir in flour and seasonings until blended. Gradually stir in broth and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in chicken, peas, corn and potato mixture; remove from heat.
  • Unroll a pastry sheet into each of two 9-in. pie plates; trim even with rims. Add chicken mixture. Unroll remaining pastry; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in tops.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 2 potpies (8 servings each).
  • Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked pies. To use, remove from freezer 30 minutes before baking (do not thaw). Preheat oven to 425°. Place pies on baking sheets; cover edges loosely with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°; bake 70-80 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°.
