Nothing says comfort quite like a homemade creamy chicken pie. This classic dish brings together tender chicken, vegetables, and a rich, velvety sauce all wrapped in a flaky, golden crust.

To start, cook bite-sized pieces of chicken breast in butter with chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and peas until tender. Stir in flour to create a roux, then gradually add chicken broth and a splash of milk or cream. Simmer until the sauce thickens and turns beautifully creamy. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and a touch of nutmeg for warmth.

Spoon the filling into a pie dish lined with pastry. Top with another sheet of puff pastry or shortcrust, sealing the edges and cutting small slits to vent steam. Brush with egg wash for that golden finish.

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes or until the crust is crisp and golden brown.

Whether served on a chilly night or at a weekend family dinner, creamy chicken pie is the ultimate cozy meal—classic, satisfying, and always a crowd-pleaser. #Hashtags: #ChickenRecipes #OnePotMeals #FamilyDinners #ScottBiffin
