Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter. Add 1 cup diced carrots, 1/2 cup diced celery, and cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 pound diced boneless skinless chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes until no longer pink.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 1/3 cup all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir for 1 minute to cook the flour taste out.
  4. Step 4: Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup whole milk. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup frozen peas, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Transfer filling to a 9-inch pie dish. Roll out 1 sheet store-bought pie crust over the top, trimming excess and sealing edges. Brush with 1 beaten egg for a golden crust.
  6. Step 6: Cut a few slits in the crust to vent steam and bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden and filling bubbles.
