Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 2 crusts pie crusts, store-bought
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Let’s make it

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F and place one crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Cook onion, carrots, and celery in butter over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute.
  3. Whisk in broth and milk, then simmer until thick. Stir in chicken, peas, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour into the crust, top with the second crust, seal the edges, and cut vents.
  5. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles; cool 10 minutes before serving.

Use a small cookie cutter to make the steam vents fun.
