Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 pound cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut!)
  • 2 cups mixed veggies (carrots, peas, corn—whatever floats your boat!)
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
For the Buttery Crust
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, diced
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • A pinch of salt salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the onions and sauté until they're fragrant and tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the mixed veggies and cook for another few minutes. Stir in the flour, making sure to coat all those lovely ingredients.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer until the mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Fold in your diced chicken.
Make the Buttery Crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add ice water and mix until a dough forms.
  3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
Assembly
  1. Pour your delicious filling into a pie dish.
  2. Carefully place the rolled-out dough over the top, sealing the edges with a fork. Cut a few slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
Baking
  1. Pop your pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and flaky.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
