Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 pieces Refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 Egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and whisk for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables. Set the filling aside.
Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhang.
Pour the prepared chicken filling into the pie shell, spreading it evenly.
Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Tuck the edges under the bottom crust and crimp to seal.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the beaten egg across the top crust for a golden finish.
Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
