Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

For the Pastry:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 34 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme, and bay leaf, cooking for 2 more minutes. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pan, cooking until browned. Stir in flour, then add chicken stock. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Stir in frozen peas and heavy cream, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Prepare the Pastry: Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add cold butter, rubbing it into the flour until crumbly. Gradually add cold water to form a dough. Knead gently, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Assemble and Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the chilled pastry. Place it over the filling in a baking dish or skillet. Trim and crimp the edges. Cut slits on top for steam. Brush with beaten egg (optional). Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or corn for extra flavor.
  • This pie freezes well before baking—just wrap it tightly and store it.
