Equipment

  • Pie Dish
  • Saucepan
  • Rolling Pin
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 2 pie crusts top and bottom, homemade or store-bought

For the Filling

  • 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon paste
  • 1/2 tsp celery seed
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions
 

  • Prepare pie crusts: Roll out the bottom crust and line a 9-inch pie dish. Chill while preparing the filling.
  • Cook chicken: Simmer seasoned chicken breasts in water until fully cooked. Let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a saucepan, melt butter. Sauté diced onion and celery until softened and fragrant.
  • Add flour, salt, pepper, bouillon paste, celery seed, and garlic powder. Stir to coat the veggies and cook 1–2 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in milk and water. Simmer until sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
  • Add chopped chicken and frozen vegetables to the sauce. Stir until combined. Let filling cool slightly before assembling pie.
  • Pour the filling into the bottom crust. Place the top crust over, seal and crimp edges. Cut a few small slits for steam to escape.
  • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30–35 minutes until golden and bubbling. Cover crust with foil if browning too quickly.
  • Let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing to allow filling to set.

Notes

Make the filling ahead of time and chill before assembling to prevent a soggy crust. Brush the top crust with egg wash or milk for a glossy golden finish.
