Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups cooked, diced chicken
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pie crust.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
3. Add the vegetable broth, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the chicken and peas to the sauce. Stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate.
5. Place the remaining pie crust over the top of the filling. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
7. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
