Why to try this delicate and hearty Ultimate Chicken Pie Recipe?

Butter crusts make everything better. They aren’t neat and tidy like shortening crusts, but the flavor is the perfect pair with this creamy filling (which also features butter, no surprise there!). This is a very traditional and homegrown pie, evoking Grandma’s comforting farmhouse specialties with a gourmet richness and fine textured tender crust that will make it stand out for your next company dinner or family weeknight meal!

Think carrots, onions, potatoes, mushrooms, and chicken in buttery creamy sauce–and the thyme/oregano spice mix is unique while still feeling familiar. The crust takes a little practice but it’s very worth it–notice the instructions in the link here about how to roll it out perfectly thin and even!

How to Make Mom’s Ultimate Chicken Pie Recipe

First, preheat the oven to 375F and prepare the crust in the link above. Place the rolled out, unbaked bottom crust into your 9″ pie dish and begin preparing your filling!

Chop your carrots into small pieces, roughly 1/4 inch thick quarters of a large carrot.

Then peel and cut your potatoes into slightly larger cubes, about 1/2 in or less.

Rinse the mushrooms and break them into small pieces.

Dice the onion into small pieces similar to the carrot sizes.

You’ll need two pans for this, so it will take a bit of multi-tasking! Or you can do these separately if time is not an issue! In one pan, heat the oil and saute veggies and spices together until tender.

In the other pan, saute the mushrooms in butter. Butter and mushrooms get along really well and this will add a lot of flavor! I LOVE my Lodge Skillet for this job!

In another skillet–thank goodness for 6 burners and a hefty vent hood!!–cook your chicken, seasoned to taste with salt and pepper, and then cut into bite size pieces. We love Gold’n Plump Chicken Breast Tenders for this!

Next, set the veggies and mushrooms aside and in a large saucepan, melt the butter. Then mix in your flour and cook slightly until it is a little golden and not raw flour. Add in broth and milk, then cook while stirring constantly until it thickens.

Mix the veggies, mushrooms, and sauce together and pour into the prepared unbaked crust. Roll out the top crust and lay it over the filling. This will be a very full chubby pie!!! It will cook down in the oven. Crimp the overhanging crust together with the extra bottom crust to seal the pie all the way around.

Place pie in preheated 375F oven on the middle rack, and on the bottom rack it’s a good idea to put a large cookie sheet to catch if the filling bubbles over while baking. Trust me, your oven will thank you.

Bake the chicken pie until golden brown and bubbling, about 45 minutes depending on your oven. It’s best served hot, but you’ll have to let it rest long enough for it not to fall apart when you cut it into 8 equal pieces. The first one never comes out neatly, but will still taste magnificently rich and buttery and tender. This chicken pie recipe is sure to be a big favorite for family dinner!! It’s always best fresh, but I never argue with leftover pie either.

Here’s where I give a big shoutout to my best buddy, my Viking gas range!!!!!!! Oh goodness, the joys of a 6-burner gas range and baking and broiling in this wide gas oven. I am really tempted by this lovely split oven version, though….

This old fashioned chicken pie recipe takes a bit of time and practice, but you’ll find it’s worth the work! It will take you right back to childhood and Mom’s love wrapped up in a fresh warm pie on the table!
