Classic Chicken Pot Pie With Bone Broth
"Comfort food lovers, brace yourselves. This chicken pot pie recipe is bursting with flavor and nutrition thanks to the addition of chicken bone broth. Although this chicken pot pie is an insanely easy recipe to follow, we haven’t cut corners on taste or texture, with a flaky buttery pie crust and thick, creamy gravy that brings it all home. If you haven’t added bone broth to your recipes before, it boasts way more health benefits than regular stock or broth alone. Bones are storehouses for beneficial proteins and essential minerals, such as collagen, calcium, and magnesium. They also contain anti-inflammatory amino acids proline and glycine. With all of those things combined, you’re getting more bang for your buck when you use broth made from slow simmered bones instead of regular stock. But this tastes so good, all those are simply added benefits!"

Ingredients
- 2 pie crusts room temperature
- 4 cup Kettle & Fire Chicken Bone Broth
- 2 cup mixed vegetables frozen
- 2 boneless and skinless chicken breast cubed
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup flour plus more for dusting
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg for egg wash, optional
-
Heat the oven to 350°F.
-
Place the pie crusts on a well-floured surface. Place the top of each ramekin on top of the pie crusts, leaving a few inches in between each one. With a knife, trace ¾ inches around each ramekin, cutting into the pie crust.
-
In a large pot over high heat, cook the chicken bone broth, frozen vegetables and chicken breast until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle and the vegetables are fork tender, about 15 minutes.
-
Drain the chicken bone broth, saving 2 cups to use for the filling. Set aside the cooked vegetables and chicken.
-
In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk the flour into the pan with the butter. Slowly add in the reserved chicken bone broth and milk to create a gravy.
-
Bring the gravy to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to reduce any clumps.
