Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather all ingredients and set aside.
- Cook the vegetables and add cubed chicken in 1 tbsp butter
- Make the roux:
- While the chicken is cooking, melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in flour, salt, black pepper until well combined and lightly bubbling.
- Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5–10 minutes. Remove from heat. add all filling ingredients to the same pot
- Assemble the pie:
- I use smaller individual cast iron dishes, but you can use any baking dish... Cast iron proves the best for this recipe
- Top and seal:
- Cover with the top crust. Seal and crimp the edges, trimming any excess dough. Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and serve:
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra depth of flavor, sauté sliced mushrooms with the onions before adding the flour.
- A foil ring around the crust edges can prevent over-browning during baking.
- This recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated unbaked for up to 24 hours.
