About

5-Star Chicken Pot Pie is all about quality; this is the kind of meal you'd expect from a first-class bed-and-breakfast, not from your own kitchen. And yet there it is on your table, made by your own hands: the buttery, flaky crust encapsulating a creamy, savory filling of juicy chicken and fresh tender vegetables. Everyone who has a slice (or two) will agree that 5-Star Chicken Pot Pie earns your cooking five stars as well!

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2 -Combine the chicken, carrots, peas, and celery in a saucepan.

Step 4 -Bring the water to a boil.

Step 5 -Boil for 15 minutes.

Step 6 -Transfer the mixture from the heat and drain the water.

Step 7 -While the chicken is cooking, melt the butter in another saucepan over medium heat.

Step 16 -Cover the pie with the remaining crust, sealing the edges and cutting away the excess dough.

Step 17 -Make several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 18 -Bake the pie until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, for about 30-35 minutes.

Step 19 -Cool the pie for at least 10 minutes.

Step 20 -Serve.
