  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute to form a roux.
  4. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk or cream. Stir and cook until thickened.
  5. Add chicken, peas, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well and remove from heat.
  6. Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and add the filling.
  7. Top with second crust, seal the edges, and cut slits for venting.
  8. Brush the top with beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
  10. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can use leftover or rotisserie chicken to save time.For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.Blind-bake the bottom crust slightly if you prefer a crisper base.Letting the filling cool slightly before assembling helps prevent a soggy crust.
