A comforting and hearty dish featuring tender shredded chicken, vegetables, and a rich creamy sauce encased in a flaky pastry crust.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup Carrots, diced
  • 1 cup Peas
  • 1 cup Potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup Onion, chopped
  • 2 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons Flour
  • 2 Pie crusts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Sauté the vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and potatoes, and sauté until tender.
  3. Make the sauce: Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the chicken broth and milk.
  4. Combine the ingredients: Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the shredded chicken, peas, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  5. Prepare the pie crust: Roll out one pie crust and place it in a cast iron skillet. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
  6. Seal the pie: Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut slits into the top crust for steam to escape.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a mix of vegetables to enhance flavor and color. Let the pie cool slightly before serving to help the filling set.
