Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Carrots, diced
• 1 cup Celery, diced
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 large Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add cubed cold unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, form it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and set the filling aside to cool slightly.

Step 7

Roll out half of the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press the dough into the dish, letting the edges hang over slightly.

Step 8

Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into the prepared pie crust.

Step 9

Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 12

Let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade buttermilk chicken pot pie!
