Ingredients

• 6 oz Chicken breast
• 1 cup Mixed vegetables
• 1 Pie crust
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tbsp Flour
• 2 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken breast in a saucepan, cover with salted water, and simmer gently 12-15 minutes until cooked through and opaque. Dice it.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour and cook 1-2 minutes until it smells nutty. This roux is what thickens your filling.
3. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, then simmer 3-4 minutes, whisking, until it thickens to a gravy-like consistency.
4. Fold in the diced chicken and mixed vegetables, season well with salt and pepper, and pour into a deep pie dish or oven-safe skillet.
5. Lay the pie crust over the filling, crimp the edges to seal, and cut 3-4 slits in the top so steam can escape.
6. Bake 22-28 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling bubbles up through the slits.
7. Rest 10 minutes before cutting. The filling sets as it cools, so it slices cleanly instead of spilling out.
