Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pie Crust

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. You may not need all the water.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dough

    Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onions, carrots, celery, and garlic until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Chicken and Peas

    Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas to the skillet, mixing well.

  3. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, cornstarch, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 7

    Cool the Filling

    Remove from heat and let the filling cool while you roll out the pie crust.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 8

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to fit your pie dish. Place it in the dish and trim the edges.

  2. 9

    Fill the Pie

    Pour the cooled chicken filling into the pie crust.

  3. 10

    Top with Second Crust

    Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top for steam to escape.

  4. 11

    Brush with Egg Wash

    If using, brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

  5. 12

    Bake the Pie

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

  6. 13

    Cool and Serve

    Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
