Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables peas, carrots, corn
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)
  • 1 package 1 lb refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to combine. Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce and parsley, if using. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
  6. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  7. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
