Chicken Pot Pie Baked Potato
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 6 medium russet potatoes cleaned and dried
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 2 to 3 cups diced cooked chicken
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rub potatoes with oil and then wrap in tin foil. Poke a few holes through the foil and into the potato. Bake potatoes for at least one hour or until tender.
- When potatoes are done cooking remove from oven and let stand while you make the chicken pot pie sauce.
- Melt butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until vegetables are crisp-tender (not mushy!) for about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute. Slowly add chicken broth and whisk to combine everything. Continue to add broth and milk while whisking to make mixture smooth and to get rid of any flour lumps.
- Continue to cook and whisk mixture until creamy and smooth. Add peas and cooked diced chicken. Let simmer on low heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve mixture over warm baked potatoes and enjoy!
