Classic Chicken Pot Pie
Flaky golden crust over a creamy filling of chicken, peas, and carrots
By RecipesQueen Kitchen • June 10, 2026
Chicken pot pie is a hug in a dish — a golden, flaky crust hiding a creamy filling loaded with tender chicken, sweet peas, carrots, and pearl onions.
The filling is a simple white sauce (butter, flour, broth, cream) with rotisserie chicken and frozen vegetables.
Use store-bought puff pastry for an extra-flaky top without the work.
