Chicken Pot Pie Sauce (instead of cream of xxx soup)

Chicken

Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup diced onion
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk

Directions

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt, pepper, celery seed, onion powder, and Italian seasoning and whisk until a paste forms, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and then milk until incorporated; bring to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove thickened sauce from the heat; add vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans) and cubed chicken/turkey. Stir until filling is well combined.

Make your chicken pot pie and bake in a 425F oven for 30-35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
