I love pot pie. I buy 5 boxes at a time of Marie Calendar’s pies at the grocery store and I will eat every crumb…minus the peas. I hate peas! I haven’t found a pot pie in the market that doesn’t include peas. It makes me so frustrated. So much so that I just had to make my own. Eat your heart out Marie!

For the crumble
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- a pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup cold butter, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp heavy cream
For the filling
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken, cooked
- 1 -2 (14.5oz) cans chicken broth
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup carrots, peeled and diced
- 3/4 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- For crumble: Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Use your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles course crumbs.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese. Pour in heavy cream and mix until just combined. Break and drop mixture into 1 - 2 inch pieces on a Silpat lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Set aside.
- For filling: Reduce oven temp to 400°. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add diced carrots, onion and celery. Saute for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender. Pour vegetables into a bowl and set-aside.
- In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and melt butter. Add in flour, stirring constantly for about 20 seconds. While stirring, slowly add milk, followed by 1 can of chicken broth, lemon juice, parsely, thyme and salt & pepper.
- Bring mixture just to a boil and then reduce heat slightly to cook for about 1 minute until thickened. Stir constantly.
- Add reserved vegetables and cooked chicken to sauce and toss to coat evenly. At this point you can add more chicken broth if mixture is too thick. This all depends on how thick you like your gravy.
- Pour mixture into a 9 inch pie dish. Cover with baked crumble. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
