Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 cups Frozen peas and carrots, thawed
• 1 large Potato, peeled and diced
• 1 stalk Celery stalk, diced
• 2 pieces Pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour to make a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until smooth. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add the shredded chicken, peas and carrots, diced potato, and celery. Stir until fully combined.

Step 6

Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into the crust.

Step 7

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 8

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to help it brown beautifully in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

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