Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Pie Crust
- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the pie.
- Blend Sauce Mixture: In a blender, combine the chicken broth, milk, flour, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and set aside to use in the filling.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant to build flavor.
- Add Vegetables and Chicken: Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cooked chicken, heating through thoroughly.
- Combine Sauce and Filling: Pour the blended mixture into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir continuously and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes, to create a creamy filling.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the chicken filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading out evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Seal Pie Crust: Place the second pie crust on top of the filling, sealing the edges well. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pie cool slightly to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use either a store-bought or homemade pie crust based on preference or convenience.
- Ensure the filling is thickened properly before assembling to prevent a runny pie.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
