Ingredients
- 1 package of pre-made pie crust
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter. Unroll the pie crust and lay it in the prepared pie plate. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the pan and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the peas and cooked chicken to the pan and stir to combine. Sprinkle the flour over the top and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the pan and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared pie crust. Place the top crust on top and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
