Old-Fashioned Chicken Pie

Feast your eyes on this beauty! You won’t believe how good it tastes!

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken, cooked and shredded
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup peas
1 cup potatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon thyme
2 pre-made pie crusts

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). We want it nice and hot to get that crust golden brown.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the diced carrots, potatoes, and peas. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir well to coat. This is gonna help thicken our filling.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring. Bring this delicious mix to a simmer.
Add in your shredded chicken, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it cook on low for about 10 minutes until nice and thick.
Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into your pie dish. Pour the chicken filling in, then cover it with the second pie crust. Seal the edges by pinching them and make a few slits in the top for steam to escape.
Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden and flaky.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut yourself a generous slice and enjoy every bite!

This old-fashioned chicken pie is not just a meal; it’s a big ol’ hug on a plate. Perfect for family gatherings or just when you need a little comfort. So, get in that kitchen and show this pie some love!
