Ingredients

Scale

3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 large carrots, diced into coins
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 sheets pie crust

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Sauté onions and carrots until they soften, about seven minutes.
Whisk in the flour to create a golden roux, cooking for two minutes.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Simmer the sauce until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Stir in the cooked chicken and thawed peas, then remove from heat.
Line a deep-dish pie plate with the bottom crust.
Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the pie plate.
Top with the second pie crust, crimp the edges to seal, and cut small slits for steam.
Bake for approximately 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

Ensure your chicken is pre-cooked and shredded for even distribution. For a glossy finish, brush the top crust with an egg wash before baking. Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure the filling sets perfectly.
