Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped carrots
1/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup diced potatoes (optional)
1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
1 tablespoon flour
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
2 pre-made pie crusts or puff pastry (or homemade if preferred)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions:
Prepare the Filling: In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, peas, and potatoes (if using), and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Make the Cream Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Then, add the heavy cream (or milk), and cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
