Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups shredded chicken
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 cup finely chopped yellow onions
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs sub for Italian seasoning or Herb de provence
  • 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour also known as plain flour
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 sprig thyme remove from stalk
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ⅓ cup half and a half substitute with semi-skimmed milk or dairy-free milk of choice
  • 2.5 cups chicken broth or as needed
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Start by melting the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add chopped onions and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant.
  • Add frozen veggies, fresh thyme and dried mixed herbs to the sauteed aromatic, stir to combine and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour on the veggies and stir to combine. Add chicken broth, stir to combine, the sauce will begin to thicken as it cooks. Add salt and pepper to taste, red pepper flakes, shredded chicken, bay leaf, and stir to combine.
  • Lastly, add the half and half then give a good stir to combine.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer on medium-low heat for another 8 to 10 minutes. Check and adjust seasoning to taste. If the sauce is getting too thick at this point, add water or broth to lighten it. Take it off the heat and serve immediately. Enjoy.

Notes

Swap the flour for cornflour slurry to make this recipe gluten-free. Substitute the chicken for leftover turkey. After adding the chicken broth, do a taste test before adding salt to season the sauce. If you would be serving the chicken pot pie on its own as a soup, you can add about a cup or two cubed potatoes to make this a more filling dish.
