Ingredients
- 1 box (400 g) refrigerated pie crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box
- 80 ml vegetable oil
- 80 ml chopped onion
- 80 g all-purpose flour
- 5 ml salt
- 25 ml pepper
- 420 ml from 1 carton chicken broth
- 120 ml milk
- 590 g shredded cooked chicken or turkey
- 475 g frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
Instructions
-
Let the pie crusts reach room temperature by placing them on your counter for a quarter of an hour after removing their outer packaging. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
-
Lay one pie crust into a 9-inch glass pie dish without greasing it. Press it firmly against the sides and bottom, allowing any extra to hang over the edges.
-
In a 2-quart saucepan, warm vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened.
-
Mix in flour, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth.
-
Slowly incorporate the chicken broth and milk, stirring consistently until the mixture is bubbly and thickened.
-
Add the shredded chicken and thawed mixed vegetables, stirring until everything is well combined. Remove from heat.
-
Transfer the chicken mixture into the pie dish lined with the crust.
-
Place the second pie crust over the chicken mixture. Tuck the extra top crust under the edge of the bottom crust, pressing to seal and form a thick edge.
-
To create a decorative edge, pinch the crust with your thumb and index finger spaced about an inch apart on the outside edge while using your other thumb to press outward, forming a scalloped pattern.
-
Cut several small slits or shapes into the top crust using a small knife to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
Bake for 15 minutes. Then cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent over-browning.
-
Continue baking for an additional 15 to 25 minutes or until the top crust is golden and the filling reaches at least 165°F. Allow the pie to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use homemade chicken broth for a more flavorful dish.
- Try different vegetables like peas, carrots, and corn for variety.
- Save time by using rotisserie chicken instead of cooking and shredding your own.
