Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 carrots finely diced
- 1 celery rib finely diced
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup peas
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1 tsp salt and pepper plus more to taste
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 tsp oregano
- 3.5 cups chicken cooked and shredded or cubed (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 tbsp flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 whole unbaked pie crust 2 pieces per box
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a large pan, melt butter on medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and peas. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, thyme, chicken bouillon, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add cubed or shredded cooked chicken, then sprinkle flour and mix until no flour remains. Let it cook until it thickens a bit, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add heavy cream and cook for 3 minutes. If it seems too thick, add 1/4 cup of chicken broth. Turn off the heat.
- Roll out first half of pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Fit into your ungreased pie dish (glass is recommended) and press crust firmly against side and bottom. Trim bottom crust along pan edge. Use a fork to poke little holes around the surface of the dough.
- Add the cooked chicken and veggie mixture into the pie dish.
- Roll out the second half of pie dough and lay it over the filling. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge. Press edges together to seal. With a knife, slice a few small slits in the top crust.
- Mix egg with 1 tbsp milk and brush mixture on top of crust.
- Bake for 33-38 minutes or until top of the crust is golden brown. Tip: After the first 20 minutes, cover edges of crust with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
