Ingredients:
Directions:
1 package of two Pillsbury Pie Crusts – or homemade crusts
if you prefer.
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or 3 cups shredded
cooked chicken – rotisserie chicken works great for this)
1/2 C. butter, plus more for baking dish
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large carrots, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 C. All-purpose flour
3 C. Low-sodium chicken broth
¼ C. Heavy cream
1 C. Frozen peas, &/or corn or mixed vegetables
2 Tbsp. Freshly chopped parsley or 1Tb. dried
2 tsp. Freshly chopped thyme leaves, or 1 tsp. dried
Egg wash – 1 beaten egg, add a small amt. of vegetable oil,
and blend into egg.
Flaky sea salt- optional
Cook chicken: Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a large baking dish
with butter and grease one side of a large piece of parchment
paper with butter. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper,
then place in baking dish. Place buttered side of parchment
paper over chicken, so that chicken is completely covered. Bake
until chicken is cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest 10
minutes before cutting into cubes.
Meanwhile, start filling: In a large pot over medium heat, melt
butter. Add onions and carrots and cook until vegetables are
beginning to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, then stir in
flour and cook until the flour mixture is golden and beginning to
bubble. Gradually whisk in chicken broth. Bring mixture to a
boil and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy
cream, cubed chicken, peas, parsley and thyme. Season this
mixture with salt and pepper.
Assemble pie: Unroll and place one of the pie crusts in a
shallow pie dish then add filling. Unroll 2 nd crust, place on top
of filling. Trim and crimp edges, then use a paring knife to
create slits on top. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with flaky
sea salt.
Reduce heat to 375° and bake pie until crust is golden, about 45
minutes. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Make 8
-10 servings.
