    Southern Chicken Pot Pie

    Southern chicken pot pie is a whole meal under one golden crust — chicken and vegetables in a rich, creamy gravy, topped with flaky pastry or buttermilk biscuits. It’s the pie that makes a Tuesday feel like Sunday.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
    2. Melt the butter in a large pot and cook the onion, carrots, and celery until soft, 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook 2 minutes.
    3. Slowly pour in the stock and cream, then simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper.
    4. Pour the filling into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
    5. Top with the puff pastry, brush with egg wash, and bake 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbling.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time. Let the pie rest 10 minutes before serving so the filling sets and slices cleanly.
