Cook the Chicken
* Place the 3 chicken breasts in your pressure cooker with 3 1/2 cups water.
* Cook on the “Chicken” setting:
* 8 minutes if fresh
* 13 minutes if frozen
* Carefully remove the chicken, shred with a fork, and set aside.
* Save all the cooking liquid — this becomes part of your broth.
Make the Filling
* In the same pressure cooker pot (no need to wash it), set to Sear / Roast.
* Melt the butter.
* Add chopped onions and cook for about 2 minutes.
* Add flour, salt, pepper, and Spike seasoning. Stir into a roux (thick paste).
* Add milk and whisk until smooth.
* Add chicken broth (use the broth you saved from cooking the chicken).
* Stir in mixed veggies and let heat for about 3 minutes.
* Add shredded chicken and mix well.
At this point — the filling is done! You can eat it as-is if you prefer no crust.
Bake the Pie
* Preheat oven to 425°F.
* Pour the mixture evenly into two deep pie crusts.
* Bake for 35 minutes.
* Cover your crust edges for the first 20–25 minutes to prevent burning.
Extra Tips
* Let the pot pie rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing so it sets properly (otherwise it will run like soup).
* A sturdy serving spatula makes it easier to lift clean slices from a deep dish.
* I often freeze the second pie for another day — perfect when busy, sick, or to bless a friend!
