Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 6–8 tablespoons ice water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough comes together. Divide in half, shape into disks, wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  2. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens, 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in cooked chicken, frozen peas, and fresh parsley. Let filling cool 15-20 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one dough disk and place in 9-inch pie dish. Pour cooled filling into crust.
  7. Roll out second dough disk and place over filling. Trim, seal, and crimp edges. Cut several slits in top crust.
  8. Bake 35-45 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • The filling can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • For a quicker version, use store-bought pie crust.
  • Make sure butter and water are very cold for flakiest crust.
  • Place a baking sheet on rack below pie to catch any drips.
