Chicken & Base
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp olive oil
Vegetables
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 potatoes, diced
1 cup frozen peas
Seasonings
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried thyme (or ½ tsp fresh)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: Serve with pie crust crackers or puff pastry for that classic pot pie touch.
Prep Ingredients: Chop all vegetables and chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Sauté Veggies: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Cook Chicken: Add chicken to the pot and cook until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.
Add Broth & Potatoes: Pour in chicken broth and add diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Make It Creamy: In a bowl, whisk flour and heavy cream until smooth. Slowly pour into the soup while stirring to avoid lumps.
Season: Add thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 more minutes until thickened.
Finish & Serve: Stir in peas and cook for 5 minutes more. Adjust seasoning and serve hot with a buttery biscuit or crust topper.
Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
Swap heavy cream with half-and-half or milk for a lighter texture.
Add corn or mushrooms for extra depth.
