Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your Chicken Pot Pie bakes evenly into a golden masterpiece.

Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté cubed chicken until browned. Ensure it’s cooked through—about 6-8 minutes should do it.

Sauté Vegetables

Add chopped onions, carrots, garlic, and potatoes to the skillet. Stir often until they soften and release their fragrant aroma—about 5-7 minutes.

Create the Sauce

Pour in chicken broth along with heavy cream while stirring continuously. Let it simmer until thickened—this usually takes around 4-5 minutes.

Add Peas & Season

Toss in frozen peas along with thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let everything meld together for another minute or two.

Assemble the Pie

Transfer your heavenly filling into a baking dish lined with one puff pastry sheet. Cover with another sheet on top—seal edges by crimping them together nicely.

Bake Your Masterpiece

Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow cooling slightly before serving—this will prevent anyone from burning their mouths!

There you have it—a deliciously comforting halal Chicken Pot Pie that will surely impress anyone lucky enough to share a meal with you! Serve it warm alongside a fresh salad or some crusty bread for a truly delightful dining experience. Enjoy!
