Everybody loves the taste of that buttery, flaky crust over all that delicious gravy-like sauce full of protein and veggies. This is making my mouth get awfully watery.

There are a couple utensils you’ll need to make this protein-packed chicken pie recipe. Those include two medium bowls, a sauce pan, a spoon, a whisk, two Pyrex measuring cups, two small bowls, and two very tiny bowls.

Here’s the Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/3 cup chopped onion

2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed out

1/2 cup of milk

1/3 cup butter for this chicken pie recipe

1 and 3/4 cups Market Pantry chicken broth

2.5 cups shredded cooked chicken or turkey

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 box of refrigerated Pillsbury Pie Crusts (2 Count) or Marie Callender’s. Follow directions on the box to soften them appropriately.

The Chicken Pie Recipe Directions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and set a medium sized (2-quart-ish) saucepan over medium heat.

Put the 1/3 cup of butter in the pan and melt it. Then, add the 1/3 cup onion and stir for 2 minutes until the onion is tender.

Next, stir in your 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Let’s be honest, it’s basically a pinch of salt, you probably don’t need to measure that out. Throw in the 1/3 cup of flour and stir that around really well. We don’t want any clumping in this chicken pie recipe.

Your 1/4 teaspoon of pepper is up next. Throw that in and mix it around.

Then, stir in the 1/2 cup of milk and the 1 and 3/4 cup of broth until it gets thick.

After that, stir in the chicken and mixed vegetables. Set the pan aside (off the heat) and start pouring the mixture into a pan lined with the pie crust for this chicken pie recipe.

Set the second crust on top, covering the mixture in the first one. Take a small knife and cut a bunch of slits in the top crust. Put it in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes. When it’s done, the crust should be golden brown.

Helpful Tip

In about the last 18 minutes of baking, put strips of foil on the crust’s edges to prevent over-browning. Once it’s out of the oven, set it on the windowsill so it can cool like a pie in a Disney movie and all the animals/Jim Belushi’s in the neighborhood will wander over sniffing for the glorious thing their noses have picked up.
