Description
A comforting and delicious roasted broccoli cheddar chicken pot pie packed with wholesome ingredients and delightful flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken (breast or thighs), boneless
- 2 cups fresh broccoli, chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for roasting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Spread fresh broccoli on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine roasted broccoli, cooked chicken, and cheese sauce gently.
- Roll out your pie crust into a greased pie dish. Pour in the filling and cover with another crust if desired. Flute the edges and create slits on top to vent.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
- Let the pot pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
