Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique take on a classic comfort food dish: Chicken Pot Pie. This recipe is perfect for cozy nights in or when you’re craving some hearty homemade goodness. Let’s dig in!

Ingredients:

• 250g chicken breast, diced
• 150g carrots, sliced
• 200g sweet potatoes, cubed
• 100g mushrooms, chopped
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 50g butter
• 50g all-purpose flour
• 500ml chicken broth
• 250ml milk
• 1 sheet of puff pastry
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• skillet
• oven-safe dish
• wooden spoon

To start, preheat your oven to 200°C. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add in the chicken and cook until browned. Next, stir in the carrots, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, and thyme, cooking until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir until everything is well coated. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Let the mixture simmer until it thickens into a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish and cover it with the puff pastry, tucking in the edges. Cut a few slits on top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Once out of the oven, let it cool slightly before serving. This comforting Chicken Pot Pie with a twist is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re feeding a crowd or just treating yourself to a cozy night in.
