Feast your eyes on this crispy, flaky crust filled with savory chicken and veggies. It’s a dish that says, “Hey, everything’s going to be alright,” in the most delicious way possible!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Gather these goodies from your pantry and fridge:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (because we’re not here for dough-making drama)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (leftover rotisserie chicken works wonders!)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh, no judgment here)
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth (or broth from your favorite soup for added flavor)
- 1/2 cup milk (because everything’s better with a splash of dairy)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional but oh-so-recommended)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg (for that golden crust finish)
Instructions to Pie Perfection
Follow these simple steps, and your kitchen will smell like a dreamy bistro!
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Get that heat cranking!
- In a large skillet, sauté the onions until they’re soft and fragrant—your taste buds will thank you!
- Add the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, and stir in the flour. Cook for a minute until everything’s coated with that deliciousness.
- Pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring until the mixture thickens into creamy goodness. Toss in the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Taste-test it—don’t be shy!
- Roll out your pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, and pour the chicken mixture inside. Cover it with the top crust and pinch the edges to seal it (feel free to get artsy with the design—pie is art after all!).
- Brush the crust with the beaten egg to make it shine like the star it is!
- Make a couple of slits on top for ventilation (we don’t want pie explosions!).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Your house will smell amazing, and your dinner guests will think you’ve enrolled in culinary school!
- Let it cool for a few minutes (if you can resist the temptation), then slice up and serve!
Enjoy the warmth of this classic comfort food, and remember: good food is best enjoyed with good company!
