Straightforward Chicken and Veggie Pot Pie

Step 1

Start by melting the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it for about 5 minutes until it softens. Next, add the potatoes, celery, and carrots, and sauté everything together until the veggies start to turn golden, which should take another 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and give it a good stir, cooking it for just a minute to get rid of that raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the almond milk, broth, and seasonings, stirring as you go. Let the mixture cook gently, stirring now and then, until it thickens up. Once it’s nice and bubbly, cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Finally, stir in the corn and chicken, cover again, and cook until everything is heated through, about 5 more minutes. Taste and add some pepper to finish.
