How to Make Cracker Barrel Homestyle Chicken Pot Pie

INGREDIENTS OF CRACKER BARREL HOMESTYLE CHICKEN POT PIE

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup onion diced
• 1/2 cup celery diced
• 1/2 cup carrots diced
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
• 1 tablespoon Better Than Buillion Roasted Chicken Base
• 2 cups milk
• 3/4 cup chicken broth or water
• 3 cups chicken cooked and cubed
• 1/4 cup Italian parsley chopped
• 1/2 pkg. refrigerated pie dough
• 1 large egg yolk + 1 teaspoon water optional

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING CRACKER BARREL HOMESTYLE CHICKEN POT PIE

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a 10-inch pie dish or an 11 x 7-inch baking dish on a baking sheet.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, celery, and carrots and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
3. Add the frozen peas and cook for 1 more minute, then sprinkle the top with the flour, salt, pepper, and Herbes de Provence. Cook and stir until the veggies are coated.
4. Pour in the bouillon, milk, and chicken broth all at once. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes, until warmed through and bubbly.
5. Remove from the heat and stir in the chicken and parsley. Immediately transfer the mixture to the pie dish.
6. Carefully unroll the pie dough and place it on top of the chicken mixture. Flute and seal the edges to the plate. Use a sharp knife to cut several slits in the dough to release steam. If desired, whisk together the egg yolk and water and brush on top of the crust before baking for a glossy finish.
7. Bake the pot pie for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
