Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, add the chicken breast and cover it with chicken broth. Simmer for about 20 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken, shred, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well. Slowly add milk and remaining chicken broth, stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine the Filling

    Add shredded chicken, peas, and green chile to the sauce. Stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.

Crust Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Pie Crust

    In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Divide into two balls, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Assemble the Pie

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one ball of dough on a floured surface and fit it into a pie dish. Pour the filling into the crust. Roll out the second ball of dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top crust for ventilation.

  2. 7

    Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
