Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Pie Dish or Casserole Dish
  • Oven
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables peas, carrots, corn
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp thyme or Italian seasoning
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust like Pillsbury
  • 1 egg beaten, for brushing
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 4 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in minced garlic and mixed vegetables. Cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Sprinkle in the flour and stir until vegetables are coated. Slowly pour in chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps.
  • Stir in milk, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Add shredded chicken and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Transfer the filling into a casserole or pie dish. Unroll the pie crust and place it over the top. Trim and crimp the edges.
  • Brush the crust with beaten egg and cut a few small slits to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle Parmesan on top before baking. Letting the pie rest after baking helps the filling firm up for clean slices. Great with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
