Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1 cup diced celery
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 cup chopped yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 pieces pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 piece egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and shred or dice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded chicken and peas. Mix well, then remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 7

Roll out one of the pie crusts and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 8

Pour the chicken mixture into the crust-lined pie dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Pinch the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal, and trim any excess dough.

Step 10

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a glossy finish.

Step 12

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Let the pie rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your comforting Country Chicken Casserole Pie!
