Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Crust and Egg Wash:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or 2 if using top and bottom crusts)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a sizzling 425F (220C), preparing for a golden, crispy pie adventure.
- Sear chicken in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat until fully cooked and no pink remains. Transfer to a separate plate.
- Using the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic until they become translucent and fragrant, approximately 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour into the skillet, stirring quickly to create a smooth base. Slowly pour in chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously until the sauce transforms into a rich, creamy consistency.
- Reunite the cooked chicken with the velvety sauce, then gently fold in frozen vegetables and seasonings like thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- On a flour-dusted surface, carefully unroll pie crusts. Drape the first crust into a 9-inch pie dish, allowing it to nestle comfortably, then pour the luxurious chicken filling inside.
- Crown the pie with the second crust, meticulously trimming and crimping edges to create a perfect seal. Artfully slice several steam vents across the top.
- Lovingly brush the crust with beaten egg, ensuring a glossy, golden finish.
- Slide the pie into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a rich amber crust and bubbling filling.
- Allow the pie to rest and settle for 10 minutes before serving, letting the flavors meld and intensify.
Notes
- Swap frozen vegetables with fresh seasonal produce for enhanced flavor and nutrition.
- Experiment with different herbs like sage or parsley to customize the taste profile.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation method, saving time without compromising taste.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting regular flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend.
