A delicious and comforting homemade chicken pot pie with flaky puff pastry, tender chicken, and a rich creamy filling loaded with vegetables.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12-15 to make, serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 1 cup carrots
  • 1 large onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 2 puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prep: Season chicken with spices. Dice vegetables. Thaw pastry sheets while keeping cold.
  2. Cook Protein: Sauté seasoned chicken in olive oil until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. Build Filling: Cook vegetables, make roux with butter and flour. Add stock, cream, cheese gradually.
  4. Assemble: Layer bottom pastry, add filling and chicken. Top with second pastry, seal edges, brush with egg.
  5. Bake: Bake at 400°F until golden brown and bubbling. Rest before serving.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold until assembly – warm pastry becomes difficult to handle and won’t puff properly
  • Make filling one day ahead and refrigerate – flavors develop overnight and assembly becomes quicker
  • Cut steam vents in top crust – prevents soggy bottom and allows proper cooking throughout
  • Internal temperature should reach 165°F for food safety
