Instructions
Creating an amazing Indian-Inspired Chicken Pot Pie is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook the Base: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
3. Add Spices: Stir in the curry powder and garam masala, cooking for another minute to release the flavors.
4. Add Chicken and Vegetables: Mix in the shredded chicken and mixed vegetables, combining well.
5. Make the Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the mixture. Stir until well coated. Gradually pour in chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring consistently until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Prepare the Crust: Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate.
7. Add Filling: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared pie crust.
8. Top it Off: Cover with the second pie crust. Seal the edges and cut slits on the top crust for steam to escape.
9. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Cool Down: Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
11. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top before serving.
