Ingredients

  • 2 (14.1 ounce) packages double-crust pie pastry, thawed
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 3 small stalks celery, cut crosswise 1/4-inch thick
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 9 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 cups roasted, shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots, not thawed
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1
Adjust an oven rack to a low-center position and preheat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press one pie pastry into each of two 9-inch deep-dish pie pans. Reserve remaining pastries until needed.

Step 2
Combine broth and evaporated milk in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high until steamy, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 3
At the same time, heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and celery; saut? until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 4
Melt butter in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Whisk in flour and thyme, and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Whisk in hot milk mixture and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 1 minute.

Step 5
Remove the Dutch oven from the heat. Stir in wine, salt, and pepper. Add onion mixture, shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, and parsley; stir until well combined.

Step 6
Divide chicken mixture between the prepared pie pans. Place remaining pastries over top, and flute the edges by pinching with your fingers. Place both pie pans onto a baking sheet.

Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven until pastries are golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes.

Tips

You can use sherry instead of wine if preferred.
