Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn), frozen or fresh
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

Pie Crust

  • 1 prepared pie crust (9-inch), homemade or store-bought

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce. Add the cooked chicken and mixed vegetables to the sauce, and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir well to combine and heat through.
  2. Assemble the Pie: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the creamy chicken and vegetable filling into a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully place the pie crust over the filling, trimming any excess edges and crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  3. Bake the Pie: Place the assembled pie on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil to prevent burning.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk thickened with cornstarch.
  • You can use leftover roasted or poached chicken to save time.
  • Add herbs like rosemary or parsley for extra flavor.
  • Ensure vegetables are cooked or partially thawed before adding to the filling to avoid excess moisture.
