Halal Chicken Pot Pie

Halal Chicken Pot Pie combines tender, seasoned chicken with a medley of vegetables in a creamy sauce, all encased in a flaky crust. This comforting dish is perfect for a cozy dinner, bringing together classic American flavors with halal-friendly ingredients.

Ingredients

• Halal chicken breast - 250 grams, diced
• Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn) - 150 grams
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Chicken broth - 240 ml
• Heavy cream - 60 ml
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• All-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons
• Dried thyme - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Pie crust (store-bought) - 1
• Egg (for egg wash) - 1, beaten

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until onions are translucent.
3. Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet, season with salt, black pepper, and thyme, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring to combine. Gradually add the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
7. Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken filling into the crust.
8. Cover the filling with another layer of pie crust, sealing the edges and making slits on top to allow steam to escape.
9. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
