Ingredients
  

Baking & Spices

  • 1 Homemade Pie Crust (2 Disks)
  • 1/3 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper

Meats

  • 4 cups Cooked Chicken Shredded*

Produce

  • 1 Medium yellow onion (1 cup chopped)
  • 1 Medium carrots (1 cup) thinly sliced

Refrigerated

  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 6 tbsp Unsalted butter

Frozen

  • 1 cup Frozen peas do not thaw
  • 1 cup Frozen corn do not thaw

Egg Wash

  • 1 Egg beaten

Instructions
 

  • In a dutch oven or pot, melt 6 Tbsp butter. Add diced onions and carrots and saute for 8 minutes over medium heat until soft.
  • Add 1/3 cup flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, and 1/2 cup heavy cream then bring to a simmer and cook 1 minute or until mixture is a thick gravy consistency. Add 2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, or season to taste.
  • Add shredded cooked chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Stir to combine then remove from heat and cool slightly while you roll out the crusts. Roll 1 chilled pie crust disk into a 12” diameter circle. Carefully transfer it into a 9” pie dish. Spoon the pie filling over the bottom crust.
  • Roll the second disk of pie dough into a 10” diameter circle and place over the pie filling. Fold the excess dough behind the bottom crust then crimp the pie crusts together to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut 6 small slits on the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the top of the crust with the beaten egg.
  • Bake at 425˚F for 30-35 minutes or until top crust is golden brown. If edges are browning too fast, cover with a pie shield or make a shield by cutting a 4” diameter circle from the center of a sheet of foil and placing that over the pie. Once out of the oven, rest for 15 minutes to cool slightly before slicing. ENJOY!

Notes

*Use leftover shredded rotisserie chicken (light or dark meat), or cook and shred 2 large chicken breasts to get 4 cups shredded chicken.
