Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (breast or thighs)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • Optional: ½ cup celery, diced

Creamy Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh)

Crust

  • 1 pie crust, rolled out (store-bought or homemade) OR
  • Biscuit dough, enough to cover casserole

Optional Seasonings and Garnishes

  • Egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with 1 tbsp water) for glossy crust
  • Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Sauté diced vegetables like carrots and celery in butter over medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Add shredded chicken, peas, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well and remove from heat.
  2. Assemble the Casserole: Grease a casserole dish and transfer the chicken and vegetable filling evenly into it, ensuring a balanced distribution for every serving.
  3. Add the Crust: Roll out your pie crust or spread biscuit dough over the filling. Press the edges gently against the sides of the dish to seal in the filling. Optionally, brush the crust with egg wash for a shiny finish.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to set the filling.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save prep time and add extra flavor.
  • Don’t overfill the casserole dish to avoid spills during baking.
  • Brush the crust with egg wash for a glossy and appetizing finish.
  • Fresh vegetables provide better texture and flavor; frozen veggies work as a substitute.
  • Prepare the filling a day ahead and assemble before baking to save time.
