Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Crust:

  • 2 pre-made pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

  1. Make the Roux: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and stir for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste.
  2. Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Mix in Chicken and Veggies: Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Assemble the Pie

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Add Filling: Pour the chicken filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  3. Cut Shapes for Topping: Roll out the second pie crust and use ghost-shaped cookie cutters to cut out ghost shapes. Place the cutouts on top of the filling, arranging them creatively.
  4. Egg Wash (Optional): Beat the egg and brush it over the crust for a golden finish.

Bake the Pot Pie

  1. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  2. Cool Slightly: Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set.
