  • 1 cup carrot finely diced
  • ½ cup celery finely diced
  • ½ cup whole kernel corn drained
  • 3 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Thyme to taste
  • Parsley to taste
  • ¼ cup half and half
  • 1 homemade pie crust, chilled
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°. In large pot, combine olive oil, onions, and garlic over medium-high heat.
  • Sauté until onions start to turn translucent, about 1 minute.
  • Add carrots, celery, and corn. Cook until softened, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken, then sprinkle flour over the top and stir until combined with vegetables.
  • Pour in chicken broth and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Season well with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley to taste.
  • Add half & half, then stir and let bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour filling into a 9-inch pie dish.
  • Roll pie crust into a 10-inch diameter circle and place over pie filling.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut 5-6 small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Whisk egg and 2 Tbsp. water together, and brush over the surface of crust.
  • This egg wash will give the pie a nice golden-brown color.
  • Place pie in oven for 30-35 minutes.
  • Once out of the oven, rest for 15 minutes to cool slightly before slicing.
