Ingredients
Method
- In a skillet, melt the butter and then stir in flour to make a roux.
- Slowly pour in chicken broth, whisking while you add it in.
- Whisk in the mustard, and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Stir and bring to simmer. Simmer until thick enough to coat a spoon.
- Now, add your chopped chicken and steamed vegetables to this sauce, and stir well to combine. Turn off heat.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees, or to pie dough directions.
- According to package or recipe instructions, roll out pie dough.
- Put one crust in a greased pie pan and trim extra from edges.
- Pour your chicken mixture into the crust and spread into an even layer.
- Top with second crust and crimp edges around pie pan, trimming any excess.
- Cut several inch long slits across middle of the top crust.
- Make an egg wash- one egg and a splash of water, beaten.
- Brush this across the pie crust.
- Bake 10-12 minutes, until the pie crust is golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
- Serve with sides.
Notes
Mashed potatoes go great with this but so would roasted potatoes and/or a salad.
