Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 0.333 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 cups Cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 can (about 11 ounces) Refrigerated breadstick dough
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in the milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and heated through.
Transfer the chicken mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or an oven-safe baking dish.
Unroll the breadstick dough and cut into long strips if not pre-cut. Arrange the strips over the chicken filling in a crisscross pattern or as desired.
Brush the breadstick dough with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the breadsticks are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
