Chicken Pot Pie

1. 1

   Step 1. Sear the chicken

   Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Sear in vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown. Remove the chicken and shred it into pieces.

   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.
