To-Die-For Chicken Pot Pie
- 6 carrots, chopped
- 6 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
- 1 cup fresh or frozen green beans, thawed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup quartered red potatoes
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 (.87 ounce) packages dry chicken gravy mix
- 4 cups water
- 1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crusts (such as Pillsbury)
- 1 whole roasted chicken, bones and skin removed, meat shredded
- 1/4 cup butter, cut into pieces
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Place a baking sheet on the a rack on which you'll bake the pie.
- Combine the carrots, celery, peas, green beans, corn, onion, red potatoes, and chicken broth in a large pot.
- Season the vegetable mixture with thyme, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain the vegetables and set aside.
- Place dry chicken gravy mix into another saucepan and gradually whisk in the water until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute.
- Set gravy aside and allow to continue to thicken as it cools.
- Press one of the pie crusts into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Spoon a layer of gravy (about 1/3 cup) into the crust.
- Layer the cooked vegetables and shredded chicken into the crust until the filling is level with the top of the pie dish.
- Pour the rest of the gravy slowly over the filling until gravy is visible at the top.
- Scatter butter pieces over the filling; top with second crust.
- Seal the 2 crusts together and crimp with a fork.
- Whisk the egg and milk together in a bowl, and brush the egg wash over the top crust.
- Pierce the top crust several times to vent steam.
- Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Check periodically to see if the edge of the crust is browning too quickly; if needed, cover the edge with a strip of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
