• Celery - Celery is part of the mirepoix flavor
• Carrot - Carrot is part of the mirepoix flavor
• Garlic Cloves - Garlic is delicious in just about everything. Here I prefer fresh over powder
• Fresh Thyme - Fresh herbs always help give great flavor to a dish and thyme goes well with chicken
• Tarragon - Fresh or dried tarragon works well here. I often have a hard time finding fresh tarragon
• Kosher Salt - Salt helps bring out the flavor of the chicken and veggies in the casserole
• Black Pepper - I like the course ground black pepper
• Bay Leaf - Bay helps add a little depth of flavor to the dish
• All Purpose Flour - This is mixed with the butter to create a roux for thickening the chicken pot pie mix

• Corn is a fun addition to the pot pie filling! You can use drained canned corn, frozen corn or corn cut off the cob
• After making the roux then adding the chicken stock it must come to a boil or it will not thicken properly

How to make Easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a cast iron pan or Dutch Oven melt the butter then add the onion, celery, carrot. Sauté until the veggie start to brown slightly then add the garlic, thyme, tarragon, salt and pepper and cook another couple minutes.

Add the flour and whisk it around until fully mixed with the butter. Cook over low stirring often for 3 minutes to cook the flour flavor out of it. Whisk in the chicken stock and add the bay leaf.

Let the mixture come to a boil, stirring frequently until it thickens then simmer it for 5 minutes. Make sure to stir the mixture so it doesn't stick to the bottom.

While the mixture is simmering, pull the rotisserie chicken. Add the chicken and the peas to the pot pie mixture.

You can either leave the mix in the pan it's in or transfer to a different oven safe pan then top with the thawed puff pastry. Brush egg wash over the top of the pastry then bake for 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
