Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced rotisserie chicken works wonderfully
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 carrots peeled and chopped into small pieces
  • 2 stalks celery chopped into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk whole or 2%
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping, optional

Equipment

  • Large Oven-Safe Skillet or Dutch Oven
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the finely chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 8-10 minutes.
    2 tablespoons butter, 1 medium onion, 2 carrots, 2 stalks celery
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes, cooking the flour to remove any raw taste and to create a roux. This is the base for your creamy sauce.
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  3. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, a little at a time, ensuring no lumps form. Once all the broth has been incorporated, slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken.
    3 cups chicken broth, 1 cup milk
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Add the salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken further.
    1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  5. Stir in the cooked shredded or diced chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Ensure everything is well combined and coated with the creamy sauce.
    4 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced, 1 cup frozen peas, 1 cup frozen corn
  6. If you are using an oven-safe skillet, you can bake directly in it. Otherwise, transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. If desired, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly and the cheese (if used) is melted and slightly golden.
  8. Let the Delicious Crustless Chicken Pot Pie Recipe rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to set slightly and the flavors to meld.

Notes

To reheat on the stovetop, gently reheat in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of chicken broth or milk if it seems too thick. For oven reheating, use 350°F (175°C) and cover loosely with foil.
