Ingredients
- 1 or 2 pie crusts either homemade or store bought
- 1/4 cup butter plus 2 Tablespoons
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 4 cups cooked chicken cubed or shredded, about 2 breasts
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 carrots sliced about 1 1/2 cups ( or frozen)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 2 ribs of celery sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas (or 2 cups frozen peas and carrot mix)
- 1 Tablespoon finely chopped thyme
- 1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 Tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- Egg wash: 1 egg lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. If using a bottom crust, roll out crust larger than baking dish or pie plate. Lightly grease bottom and sides of pie dish and lay bottom crust.
- In a separate pan, heat 2 Tablespoons butter over a medium heat. Add onions, celery and carrots (if using raw carrots). Saute about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the veloute. Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter in a large sauce pan, add flour and cook for a couple of minutes on a medium low heat, but do not allow to brown.
- Slowly whisk in chicken broth, whisking constantly. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes until thickened. Add salt, pepper, poultry seasoning and fresh thyme. Add sautéed vegetables and cook until tender. About 10 minutes. Add chicken, frozen peas and cook another 3-5 minutes until all the veggies are tender and filling is hot. Add fresh chopped parsley. Check seasoning, adding more salt or pepper to taste. Pour filling in a deep dish pie plate and top with crust.
- Poke holes in the top to let steam escape. Place pie on a baking sheet to catch drips.
- Brush with egg wash and bake for 45 minutes to one hour at 375 degrees F., or until deep golden brown.
