Equipment
- Large skillet
- 9-inch deep pie dish
- Rolling Pin
- Sharp knife
- Wooden Spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken cut into pieces
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 2 cups good quality chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Dice your cooked chicken into small chunks.
- Chop the onion into tiny pieces. Measure out all your other ingredients now. This saves you time while cooking later.
- Melt butter in your skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions to the pan.
- Cook them until they become soft and clear. Sprinkle flour over the butter and onions. Stir constantly for one full minute only.
- Pour in chicken broth very slowly while stirring. Add the milk and keep stirring everything together.
- The mixture will get thick like gravy. This usually takes about five minutes total. Season it with salt and black pepper.
- Add your chicken pieces to the sauce. Toss in all the frozen vegetables too.
- Stir until everything is mixed well together. Let it bubble gently for three minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat completely.
- Line your pie dish with one crust. Pour the chicken filling into the crust.
- Cover it with the second pie crust. Press the edges together to seal tightly.
- Cut four small slits on the top. This lets steam escape while it bakes.
- Put the pie in your hot oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes exactly.
- The top should be golden and gorgeous. Let it rest for 10 minutes minimum. Then slice and serve to your family.
Notes
- Buy rotisserie chicken to save cooking time.
- Season your filling generously with herbs you like.
- Thyme and rosemary work wonderfully in this recipe.
- Brush egg wash on top for shine.
- Let the pie cool before cutting it.
- This keeps the filling from running everywhere.
- Freeze individual portions for quick future meals.
- Add garlic powder for an extra flavor boost.
