Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1/2 cup frozen pearl onions or 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Crust and Finishing
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (top and bottom) or 1 box (14 ounces) ready-to-bake pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the pie to a golden crisp.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, thawed mixed vegetables, pearl or diced onions, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until everything is well blended for a creamy and flavorful filling.
- Assemble Pie: Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it evenly along the bottom and sides. Spoon the prepared chicken mixture into this crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Top Crust: Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges, then crimp the edges firmly to seal the pie and prevent spilling during baking.
- Vent and Egg Wash: Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden finish when baked.
- Bake: Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to set the filling. Then slice and serve warm for a comforting meal.
Notes
