Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
- 1 sheet pie dough (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and set pie dough out to slightly soften.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, and cook until tender, about 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually add broth and milk, stirring until thickened and smooth.
- Add chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Pour filling into a greased pie dish. Roll out pie dough and place over the top. Trim and crimp the edges, and cut small slits in the top to vent. Brush with egg wash if desired.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save prep time.
- Cool filling before topping with dough to avoid a soggy crust.
