Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 1/2 cups mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, corn—fresh or frozen)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp thyme (optional)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the cold water, kneading gently until the dough comes together. Divide into two portions, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and thyme, cooking for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk, letting the mixture simmer until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in the chicken and vegetables, then remove from heat.
  3. Assemble the pie: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one portion of the dough on a floured surface and fit it into your pie dish. Pour the filling into the crust. Roll out the second portion of dough and lay it over the filling. Pinch the edges to seal and cut small slits in the top for venting.
  4. Bake: Brush the top crust with an egg wash (1 beaten egg with a splash of water) and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  5. Cool & serve: Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Keep your butter cold for a flaky crust.’, ‘Don’t skip the egg wash for a golden finish.’, ‘Thicken your filling properly by simmering longer if needed.’, ‘Customize the veggies based on what you have on hand.’, ‘The crust and filling can be prepped separately and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.’]
