How To Make It

Cooking the chicken. The very first thing you will need to do is prepare the chicken breast. My favorite ways are in the oven or the instant pot and you can see the notes in the recipe card for instructions on both.

You could also you pre-cooked rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken if you have it.

Pot pie crust. Stir together the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix in cold butter with your fingers until it's combined. Then add in the cold water.

Use your hands to form this into a dough ball, with a rolling pin, flatten it out. When you roll it out, it doesn't have to be a perfect circle, just roll it.

Brush the egg wash over top. Pierce the pie crust with a fork about 10 times, just all over it.

Bake the pie crust for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, or until golden in color and it starts looking crisp vs. soft. Once it's cool you can break up the crust into small pieces.

Soup. In a soup pot saute diced onion, carrots and celery in olive oil for 5-7 minutes. At this stage you are trying to soften the vegetables.

Add in the butter, let it melt, then add in flour and stir for 2 minutes.

Pour in the chicken broth, chicken bouillon, frozen corn and frozen peas. Bring everything to a bowl then reduce the heat to low and add in the cream. Cover the pot and simmer until the vegetables can be pierced with a fork and are tender.

Add in chopped up cooked chicken. Serve in bowls, then crumble some pie crust in your hands and sprinkle it on top.
