Chock-full of chicken, potatoes, peas and corn, this autumn favorite makes two golden pies, so you can serve one at supper and save the other for a busy night. These potpies are perfect for company or a potluck. —Karen Johnson, Bakersfield, California

40 35 75

Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced peeled potatoes
  • 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
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 4 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 2 packages (14.1 ounces each) refrigerated pie pastry

Directions

  • 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°.

I make this potpie all of the time. It is our favorite meal. It is DELICIOUS! I make it for people who are ill or have had a baby and it's perfect because there is one for them and one for my family. Every single time I make it I get a request for the recipe. I saute the chicken in good spices and chop for the best flavor.

This potpie would have been delicious but I thought it had way too much thyme. I will try again with only a smidgeon of thyme.

My family loved this recipe. I think my 17 yr old had 4 helpings, and my husband, who usually doesn't like this, had 2 helpings. I will definitely make it again.

I needed to add more broth and I made my own crust and the chicken pot pie was a big hit with my husband. We both loved it!

Great tasting and easy to make. I only wanted to make 1 pie, so I halfed the recipe and it worked out great.

I tested several pot pie recipes before settling on "the best" for my recipe box --- and here it is! It's my go-to recipe for taking to new moms or shut-ins, because the double recipe allows me to make dinner for my family and theirs.

This is the best potpie recipe. I share this one alot.

When I want to make Chicken Pot Pie, this is the recipe I turn to. I have thought about reducing the butter a touch to cut down on the fat-that's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5-it seems like a bit too much butter in the filling.

Doubled the recipe and got 5 pies out of it!! Cooking for a very large harvest crew and it was a hit! They all loved it. To save time I used canned chicken. Great recipe! Love that it makes lots. I will use this recipe long after harvest. Its great to have extra in the freezer for those days when you dont feel like cooking!!

I'm rating this as a 5 even though I haven't tasted it yet. Right before summer I made one of these..put in all in a very deep dish pie shell, but it got hot and my husband didn't want me to heat up the house, so I gave it to my son and dtr in law and told them to bake it. They told me it was the best pot pie they had ever had and it was gone within 24 hrs. It's just the two of them!!! Gonna make one for me and hubby this week and freeze the other one as recommended.

Made this last night. My family told me this one is a keeper. I bought 2 9 inch deep dish pie crust and I had enough filling to make 3 pot pies and gave one to my neighbor. I will definitely make this one again!

I tested other potpie recipes, trying to find the perfect one.... this is by far the best, and the one that made it's way into my permanent recipe collection. This is one of my favorite dishes to take to new moms or shut-ins, because it's a double recipe -- one for my family, and one for theirs. It's delicious!

Forgot to add that I used only 1/2 cup of butter (by accident) and it turned out just as good.

I absolutely love this recipe and so does my husband. I double the amount of Thyme and black pepper. If I'm short on time I will use 2 15 oz cans of mixed veggies in place of the potatoes, carrots, corn and peas. I also like to use fat free half-and-half if I have it on hand.

My husband and son both loved it! I used a Pillsbury crust and a left-over store bought bbq chicken. My husband grew up on homemade potpies and his Mom is the best pastry maker I know, so I was ready for an "It's okay" but got a "Wow, this is really good. One of the best I've ever had". He even went as far to say that he was a little hesitant when I said that I was making a chicken potpie (don't know where that came from as I'm a good cook!) Another plus is that it made two good sized pies.

I adapted the recipe and skipped the potatoes and carrots. I in turn used 4 cups of frozen mixed vegetables to make this truly a quick fix. My family loves it so much, that the 2nd pie doesn't make it to the freezer any more!!

This is a wonderful pot pie. My husband and son loved it; there was none left from the one pie.

This is the best recipe! My freezer cooking group uses this every time we get together. We have also adapted it to using beef stew meat. To make things really easy we buy deep dish pie crusts and top with Pillsbury refrigerated rolled pie crusts. Packed into a 1 gallon freezer bag and labeled with instructions, they are so nice for giving to families in need as well as my own home!

This turned out GREAT! I used less expensive ground beef instead of the more expensive chicken. I also made my own pie crust with my favorite recipe. The frozen pie tasted like it had never been frozen. I don't need to look for another pot pie recipe! THIS IS IT!

This is my favorite potpie recipe. It's great to make when I need some homemade comfort food.
