Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked chicken diced or shredded
  • 1 cup onions diced
  • ½ cup celery diced
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup peas fresh or frozen
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • cup butter
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • cup chicken broth
  • cup milk or half-n-half or heavy cream
  • 2 pie crust homemade or store-bought

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 1 more minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and herbs. Cook 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  • Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Stir in the cooked chicken and peas. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one pie crust to a12-inch circle and line a 9-inch pie dish. Pour in the filling.
  • Cover with the second crust, seal edges, and cut slits on top for steam to escape.
  • Lightly beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush it over the top crust. This gives the pie a beautiful golden-brown, glossy finish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 35-40 minutes. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
  • Let the pie cool 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: You can make the chicken and vegetable filling up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the pie.
To Freeze: Fully baked pies can be frozen for up to 2 months. Let it cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw completely overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until warmed through.
