Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth homemade is great but store-bought works just fine
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts because let’s be real, who always has time to make one from scratch?

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, cook the chicken over medium heat until it’s no longer pink in the center (about 15-20 minutes). Then shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In the same pot, add the onions, carrots, and potatoes. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add in the peas and mix together.
  3. Add the butter to the veggies and let it melt. Once melted, sprinkle the flour and stir to create a roux—cook for about a minute.
  4. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring continually until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme and garlic powder and mix well.
  5. Fold in the shredded chicken into the creamy veggie concoction.
  6. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one of the pie crusts into a pie dish. Pour in the chicken filling and top it with the second crust, crimping the edges to seal.
  7. Cut a few slits in the top crust for venting and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

Chill your butter and flour in the fridge before use. Don’t overwork the dough; roll it out gently. An egg wash can be brushed on for extra shine.
