Description

Recreate KFC's delicious Chicken Pot Pie at home with this easy and flavorful copycat recipe! Made with tender chicken, creamy filling, and flaky puff pastry.

Ingredients 

  • 17.3 oz puff pastry, thawed
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon granulated white sugar
  • 2 cups chicken, cubed cooked chicken
  • 12 ounces vegetables, frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 large potato, cubed and boiled
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a large pan, melt 3 tablespoons salted butter over medium heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour to create a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the 1 cup milk and 1 cup heavy cream, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper. 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon celery seed, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning and 1 teaspoon granulated white sugar Stir well to combine.
  • Stir in the cooked 2 cups chicken, 12 ounces vegetables and boiled 1 large potato. Mix until everything is evenly distributed. Remove from heat.
  • Roll out the thawed 17.3 oz puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it to fit your baking dish, ensuring it will cover the filling.
  • Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared dish. Place the puff pastry over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Use a knife to create small slits on top for steam to escape.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 large egg and w1 teaspoon water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of the puff pastry with this mixture for a golden, crispy crust.
  • Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  • Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade, KFC-inspired chicken pot pie!
