Ingredients
- For the filling:
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- For the crust:
- 2 sheets of store-bought pie crust or homemade pie doug
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Cook until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).
- Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and parsley.
- Add cooked chicken and mixed vegetables. Stir well and remove from heat.
2. Assemble the Pie
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place one sheet of pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges if needed.

3. Bake
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- For a glossy crust, brush the top with a beaten egg before baking.
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
