Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, corn)
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and garlic to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the milk, chicken broth, and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Add the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables to the sauce. Stir well to combine and heat through. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Unroll one of the refrigerated pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess and crimp the edges to seal.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to achieve a golden brown finish.

Step 13

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

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 15

To make this an OAMC (Once A Month Cooking) meal, allow the pie to cool completely after baking, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until heated through.
