# What You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken, diced

# Directions:

03 - Slowly pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
04 - Fold in the diced cooked chicken, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir until heated through. Remove from heat.
05 - Transfer the filling to a 9-inch pie dish and gently cover with the pie crust, trimming and sealing the edges as needed. Cut a few small vents in the top to release steam.

07 - Allow the pot pie to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
