# Instructions:
01 -
First things first, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is where the magic begins! I always forget this step, and I’m left waiting impatiently while my pie sits there. My kitchen usually smells like butter and garlic at this point, and it’s heavenly!
02 -
In a pot, cook your chicken in some butter until it's golden brown. You want it to be just cooked through. Pro tip: You’ll want to shred it after it cools a little. I once burned my fingers trying to shred it too soon—oops! Let it cool before you get to work.
03 -
In the same pot, add more butter, then toss in your veggies and sauté them until they’re tender. Add your cooked chicken back in, sprinkle flour, and stir like you mean it! This is where the filling comes together, and oh my, the smell is beyond comforting.
04 -
Gradually stir in the chicken broth while whisking (I always make such a mess here!). Let it thicken, then season with salt, pepper, and thyme. You want it to taste just right! Don’t be shy about tasting it—this is the best part!
05 -
Roll out your crust in a pie dish (or just use your store-bought one, no judgment here!). Pour that luscious filling into the crust and cover with the top crust. Seal the edges; I love to crimp them! I’ve had some toppings spill out, so seal it well!
06 -
Bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Your kitchen will smell incredible! Let it cool a bit before serving, or you might burn your tongue like I did last time! Enjoy each cozy bite!
# Notes:
01 -
Don’t skip letting your chicken cool before shredding! Check your broth saltiness-trust me, I’ve made it too salty before! Use a baking sheet under your pie to catch any drips!
