Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pastry brush
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pre-made pie crusts for top and bottom
  • 3 cups cooked and shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables peas, carrots, corn, green beans
  • 1 egg for egg wash

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  • Stir in salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, and sage into the roux.
  • Gradually pour in chicken broth and milk, continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, usually 5-7 minutes.
  • Add shredded chicken or turkey and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.
  • Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it into the bottom of the pie dish.
  • Pour the chicken mixture over the crust in the pie dish.
  • Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the chicken mixture. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal.
  • Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.
  • Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Allow the pot pie to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Experiment with different vegetables or add potatoes for variety.
  • Make it ahead and refrigerate before baking for a quick dinner option.
  • Serve with a side of salad or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
