To start, preheat your oven to 200°C (gas mark 6). Gather your ingredients: 450g of chicken breast, 30g of butter, 1 medium onion, 2 medium carrots, 2 medium potatoes, 150g of frozen peas, 150g of frozen corn, 2 cloves of garlic, 20g of all-purpose flour, 360ml of chicken stock, 240ml of milk, 1 tsp of dried thyme, 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of black pepper, and a can of crescent roll dough.
Cook the chicken breast until it's no longer pink. Set it aside and let it cool. Sauté the onion, carrots, potatoes, and garlic in the butter until they're tender. Stir in the flour, followed by the chicken stock, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mixture thickens.
Add the cooked chicken, peas, corn, and any extra vegetables you'd like, such as broccoli, green beans, or corn. Mix well and let the filling cool.
Prepare the crescent roll dough as per the package instructions. Press the seams together for a smooth crust or leave them "quilted" for a rustic charm. Pour the filling into a baking dish and top it with the dough.
Bake the pot pie for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
This family-friendly and freezer-friendly recipe is not only quick and easy but also provides leftovers for later. The filling can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking, and the cooked pot pie can be frozen for up to 2 months and reheated when needed. Enjoy this creamy, cozy, and homey dish on busy weeknights!
