Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 pieces Pre-made pie crusts
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, until lightly golden.

Step 5

Slowly add the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Add the milk and continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Add the mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, and the diced chicken. Mix thoroughly and remove from heat.

Step 7

Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough around the edges.

Step 8

Pour the chicken and cheese filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges of the crusts together to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water. Brush this egg wash over the top crust for a golden, shiny finish.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
