Method
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Prepare the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk (or broth), mixed vegetables, garlic powder, black pepper, and thyme. Stir until fully blended and creamy.
Assemble the Pie
- Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared pie dish. Place the pie crust over the top, trim excess dough, and crimp the edges. Cut 3–4 small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the vents.
Rest and Serve
- Allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling thicken for clean slices. Serve warm.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe and saves time.
- If using fresh vegetables like carrots or potatoes, parboil them first to ensure tenderness.
- For a crispier bottom crust, blind bake the crust for 8–10 minutes before adding filling.
- To freeze: assemble unbaked pie, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 3 months.
- For a lighter version, use low-sodium cream of chicken soup and whole wheat pie crust.
