How to Make Chicken Pie
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the onion until soft, then add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth.
- Add the heavy cream and stir until the sauce becomes thick and creamy.
- Mix in the cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
- Line a pie dish with the bottom pie crust.
- Spoon the chicken filling evenly into the crust.
- Cover with the second pie crust and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
- Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top with beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serving Suggestions
Chicken pie pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, green beans, roasted vegetables, garden salad, or steamed broccoli. It also tastes delicious with cranberry sauce or homemade gravy.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover chicken pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 15-20 minutes to keep the crust crispy. You can also freeze the baked pie for up to 3 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
