Chicken pot pie is a classic American dish that consists of a savory filling of chicken and vegetables, often including carrots, peas, and onions, in a creamy sauce that is baked in a pastry crust.

To make chicken pot pie, the chicken is cooked until tender and then combined with a mixture of sautéed vegetables, usually including onions, carrots, celery, and peas. This mixture is then mixed with a creamy sauce made from a roux of butter and flour, chicken broth, and milk or cream. The filling is then placed in a pre-baked pie crust and topped with another layer of pastry crust, which is then baked until golden brown.

Chicken pot pie is a comforting and satisfying meal that is perfect for colder weather or as a cozy dinner with family and friends.
