  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast, cubed
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 6–8 tablespoons ice water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté onions and garlic until translucent. Add chicken cubes and cook until browned. Stir in mushrooms, carrots, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook until vegetables are tender.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until dough comes together; divide into two balls and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out one dough ball to fit the pie dish. Place in the dish and fill with the chicken mixture. Roll out the second dough ball to cover the filling; seal edges by crimping.
  5. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
