Introduction
This Chicken Pot Pie is lightened up by only having the one crust on the top! It is still so hearty and delicious and is a nice, healthier alternative to this typical comfort food. It's super simple to make and is actually really good re-heated, so you can plan to eat it for leftovers too!
How to Make
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees
In a large skillet, heat the Olive Oil on medium heat.
Add in the diced celery, Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic and heat for 3 minutes, mixing continuously.
Add the flour and stir over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Slowly add in the milk, stirring as you do. Bring to a low boil and then bubble until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Continue stirring and breaking up any large clumps.
Add in the cooked chicken, peas & carrots, onion, thyme and parsley. Mix well.
Spray a pie pan with Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Pour in the chicken mixture and flatten out the top with a spatula.
Whisk your egg in 1 tbsp of water to make an egg wash.
Roll out your pie crust.
Using a pastry brush, spread the egg wash on the edges of the pie pan. Then place the pie crust on top, pressing the edges onto the pan so they stick.
Brush the egg wash over the top of the pie crust and cut 3 slits in the top.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Enjoy!
