In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to replicate HelloFresh’s chicken pot pie with simple ingredients, clear steps, and smart tips for the perfect golden-brown crust.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (diced)
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp thyme
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil and sauté the diced chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Veggies
In the same skillet, add chopped onions and cook until soft. Add garlic, peas, and carrots. Cook for another 3–4 minutes.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Slowly pour in chicken broth and cream, stirring constantly until it thickens. Add thyme, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Combine
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 5: Assemble the Pie
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place one pie crust in a baking dish. Pour the filling into the crust. Cover with the second crust. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Step 6: Bake
Brush the top crust with egg wash. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 7: Cool & Serve
Let the pie cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade HelloFresh-style comfort meal!
Tips for Perfect Results
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time
- Add chopped mushrooms for extra depth
- Don’t skip the egg wash—it gives that glossy finish
- Let the pie rest after baking for cleaner slices
