Ingredients
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup milk or cream
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
2 pie crusts (top and bottom)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté onion until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth.
4. Add shredded chicken and frozen vegetables. Simmer until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
5. Roll out bottom crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour filling into crust.
6. Top with second crust. Seal edges and cut slits for steam. Brush with egg wash.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown. Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a flakier bottom crust, chill the assembled pie for 15 minutes before baking.
Add a touch of shredded cheddar to the filling for a richer twist.
Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save prep time without sacrificing flavor.
