  • Total Time: 65 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6–8

Ingredients

2 cups diced peeled potatoes

1 ¾ cups sliced carrots

1 cup butter, cubed

⅔ cup chopped onion

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 ¾ teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon dried thyme

¾ teaspoon pepper

3 cups chicken broth

1 ½ cups whole milk

4 cups cubed cooked chicken

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup frozen corn

4 sheets refrigerated pie crust

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • Boil diced potatoes and carrots in salted water until tender, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.

  • Stir in flour, salt, thyme, and pepper; cook for 2 minutes to form a roux.

  • Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk; cook, stirring constantly until thickened and boiling.

  • Stir in cooked chicken, potatoes, carrots, peas, and corn; remove from heat.

  • Roll out 2 pie crust sheets to fit a 9×13-inch baking dish; place one sheet in the dish.

  • Pour chicken mixture evenly over crust.

  • Cover with second crust sheet; trim and seal edges by pinching. Cut slits in top crust to vent.

  • Bake 30–35 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbly.

  • Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Substitute turkey or leftover roast chicken for cooked chicken.

Add mushrooms or celery for extra veggies.

Use homemade crust if preferred.

For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and crust alternatives.

Replace whole milk with cream or half-and-half for richer filling.

Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat in oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes. Avoid microwaving.
