Ingredients

1 Rotisserie chicken breast meat only, diced into bite-sized pieces
3 carrots diced
3 celery stalks diced
1/4 yellow onion diced
1 stick butter salted
2 tbs all-purpose flour
1 tsp chicken bouillon
1 c half and half
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the chicken:

Slice and dice the meat from one rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces. I typically use only the breast meat for this recipe

Cook the vegetables:

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, sauté the carrots, onions, and celery in butter until they become soft and translucent

Add more butter:

Once the vegetables are cooked, add an additional ½ stick of butter and let it melt completely

Make the roux:

Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and stir continuously to avoid clumps. Use a fork or whisk to keep the mixture smooth

Add the dairy:

Pour in the half-and-half and continue stirring until the filling becomes thick, creamy, and well combined

Prepare the crust:

Make your pie crust and place one rolled-out crust into the bottom of your pie dish

Fill the pie:

Spoon the warm chicken pot pie filling into the prepared crust

Add the top crust:

Place the second pie crust over the filling, crimp the edges, and cut a few vents in the top to allow steam to escape

Bake and enjoy:

Bake at 375°F for about 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky. Let cool slightly before serving
