Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 pieces Pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the milk and continue stirring until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Remove the skillet from heat and set the filling aside.
Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides.
Pour the chicken filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim any excess overhang, then pinch the edges to seal the top and bottom crusts together. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
