Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Once melted, add the celery, carrots, and onion. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the carrots and celery are tender. Add the garlic and ¼ teaspoon salt. Continue cooking for 30 seconds, or until the garlic is fragrant. Transfer to a clean plate.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Once melted, sift in the flour and pour in ½ cup of the broth. Whisk immediately and continue whisking until a thick paste forms. This should take about 15 seconds. In ¼ cup increments, pour in 1 cup of milk and the remaining 1 cup chicken broth, whisking well after addition and waiting for the sauce to slightly thicken between each one.
Reduce heat to low and add the thyme, rosemary, tarragon, nutmeg,1 teaspoon salt, and ¾ teaspoon black pepper. If a gravy-like consistency has been reached, remove from the heat. If not, continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes more, or until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and mix in the cooked vegetables, shredded chicken, peas, and corn.
Roll the pie crust out to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the crust to the skillet.You should have about 1 inch of overhang. Working from one side of the pie crust to the other, roll over a small section of the overhang until it reaches the top of the inside crust. Press lightly with your index finger into the side of the skillet at an angle to create a rope-like pattern.
Whisk together the egg and remaining 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl. Spread over the top of the pie crust and edges using a pastry brush. Cut an X in the middle of the pie crust to serve as a vent while baking.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chicken: Rotisserie chicken is a perfect time-saver for this recipe, but feel free to use any cooked, shredded chicken you have on hand.
Egg Wash: Brushing an egg wash over the crust will give you that perfect golden brown finish, but it’s optional if you're short on time.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crust's crispness.
Make-Ahead: Prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge. When you're ready to bake, just add the crust and bake as directed.
Gluten-Free: Swap the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend, and use a gluten-free pie crust to make the dish gluten-free.
Dairy-Free: Substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative or neutral oil, go for a dairy-free pie crust, and use a full-fat plant-based milk, such as oat or soy milk, to keep the sauce creamy.
