Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast or thighs, diced

Vegetables

  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup onions, chopped

Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream

Pie Crust

  • 2 sheets ready-made or homemade pie crusts

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Cook diced chicken until tender and set aside. In the same pan, sauté chopped carrots, celery, and onions until softened. Make a roux by melting butter and whisking in flour, then slowly add chicken broth and milk to create a creamy sauce. Combine the cooked chicken and vegetables with the sauce, then season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  2. Assemble the pie: Roll out the first pie crust and line a pie dish, covering the sides evenly. Pour the prepared filling into the crust, spreading it to fill all corners. Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges by pinching or crimping. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  3. Bake until golden: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling bubbles through the vents. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for the crust to keep the pastry light and flaky.
  • Don’t overfill the pie; leave space for sauce thickening and to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Brush the top crust with egg wash for a shiny, golden finish.
  • Allow the filling to cool before adding the top crust to avoid sogginess.
  • Use a sharp knife for clean slices to maintain pie structure when serving.
