Ingredients
- 6 oz Chicken breast
- 1 cup Mixed vegetables
- 1 Pie crust
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 2 tbsp Butter
Steps
- 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.
- 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.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, then simmer 3-4 minutes, whisking, until it thickens to a gravy-like consistency.
- 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.
- Lay the pie crust over the filling, crimp the edges to seal, and cut 3-4 slits in the top so steam can escape.
- Bake 22-28 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling bubbles up through the slits.
- Rest 10 minutes before cutting. The filling sets as it cools, so it slices cleanly instead of spilling out.
