Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into small bite size pieces)
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced celery
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 (1 top and 1 bottom) unbaked pie crusts
Instructions
1. Make sure there is an oven rack on the bottom rack of
the oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is
melted, add the chicken, carrots, celery, onion, salt, garlic powder, thyme
leaves, and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked
through, stirring often.
3. Add the flour. Stir well, until no dry flour remains. Slowly stir in the
cream, then the chicken broth. Cook until bubbling and thick, stirring often,
3-4 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat. Stir in the peas and flat leaf parsley. Let this cool
for 15-30 minutes before filling the pie.
5. Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Spoon the cooled filling into
the pie crust. Top with the second pie crust. Seal the edges of the pie crust
together. Cut 3-4 slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
6. Place the filled pie plate on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes on the
bottom rack of the oven.
7. Cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
