Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts 2 crusts

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling pin
  • 9-inch oven-safe baking dish
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the diced onion and diced celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring until smooth and thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, shredded chicken, and frozen peas and carrots and stir to combine.
  6. Roll out one refrigerated pie crust and place it in a 9-inch oven-safe baking dish.
  7. Pour the chicken filling into the crust, cover with the second pie crust, and seal the edges by crimping them together.
  8. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  9. Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

For extra flavor, roast the chicken with herbs before shredding and brush the top crust with egg wash for a golden finish. Cover crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
