Quick Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, peas)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced celery
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 sheet prepared pastry dough
  1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add frozen vegetable mix, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and celery in hot butter until soft and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. Melt remaining butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Whisk flour into butter to form a thick paste. Slowly add chicken broth to flour-butter mixture, whisking constantly, until mixture is hot and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir chicken, steamed mixed vegetables, and onion-celery mixture into broth mixture; season with seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let mixture cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  6. Fold sour cream and mozzarella cheese into chicken mixture; pour into a casserole dish.
  7. Spread pastry dough over the top of the chicken mixture and pierce the dough several times with a fork.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is browned and chicken mixture is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
