Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
  • 1 cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium)
  • 1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts total)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the same skillet. Cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet with the vegetables. Whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in thyme and poultry seasoning.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in peas and corn.
  7. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a 9-inch pie plate.
  8. Place one pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken breasts.
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can add an extra tablespoon of flour to the butter mixture.
  • You can substitute other vegetables like potatoes or green beans for the peas and corn.
