Ingredients

  • 1 store-bought pie crust
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 rib celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked, diced chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Line a 9-inch pie plate with the store-bought crust and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add the flour to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly add the chicken broth and stir until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Remove from the heat and stir in the chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir in the heavy cream and pour the mixture into the prepared crust.

Cover the pie with the remaining crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to vent. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
