Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked and shredded chicken
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 pieces Pie crusts (ready-made or homemade)
- 1 piece Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly to form a roux.
Gradually add the chicken broth while whisking, followed by the milk. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce, about 3-5 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the sauce. Remove the skillet from heat.
Roll out one pie crust and line a 9-inch pie dish with it. Trim any excess dough around the edges.
Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the crust-lined pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the pie with the second crust, trimming the edges and pinching the top and bottom layers together to form a sealed edge. Optionally, crimp the edge for decoration.
Cut a few small slits in the center of the top crust using a knife to allow steam to escape during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust evenly with the wash to promote browning.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake the chicken pot pie for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
