Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 rounds unbaked pie crust
• 1 piece egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook them in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes per side. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then shred or chop into bite-size pieces.

Step 3

Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and cut the spears into 2-inch pieces. Steam or blanch the asparagus until just tender, about 3–4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated.

Step 7

Add the shredded chicken and asparagus to the cheese sauce, stirring gently until everything is coated evenly.

Step 8

Place one round of pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly against the sides and bottom. Trim any excess dough if needed.

Step 9

Pour the chicken and asparagus filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing it out with a spoon.

Step 10

Place the second round of pie crust over the filling. Trim any overhanging edges, then crimp or seal the edges of the crusts together using a fork or your fingers.

Step 11

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape, and brush the beaten egg over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 13

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
