Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.33 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.75 cups Chicken broth
- 0.67 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme (optional)
- 2 pieces Refrigerated pie crusts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.
Add the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme (if using) to season the sauce.
Stir the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables into the sauce. Allow the mixture to heat through for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Unroll one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it against the sides and bottom.
Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the prepared pie crust.
Unroll the second pie crust and place it on top of the filling. Pinch the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut 3-4 small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (to catch any bubbling over) and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
