Chicken Pot Pie

Elaboración

1. 01
   Paso 1Season and sear chicken

   Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Sear in vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown. It's okay if the chicken is still slightly undercooked inside, as it will continue cooking in the sauce. The key is not to overcook and dry it out. Remove the chicken and shred it into pieces.

   Nota

   Don't fully cook the chicken—it will finish in the sauce to stay moist
