Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 cup of yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup of carrots chopped
  • 1/2 cup of celery chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh sage chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme chopped
  • Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 ⁄3 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 3 cups of shredded chicken
  • 1 pie crust store bought or homemade
  • 1 egg lightly beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 7” x 11” casserole dish.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet, and sauté the onions, garlic, sage, and thyme. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the butter starts to brown. Be careful not to cook too long, lest you burn the butter!
  • Gradually whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for one minute.
  • Gradually stir in the broth and milk. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, constantly stirring until the mixture has thickened and is bubbling.
  • Add in the carrots, celery, and broccoli. Cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Then add in the shredded chicken. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pie crust dough into a large rectangle. Cut the dough into ¾” wide strips for your lattice topping. Arrange the strips on the top of the filled casserole dish, alternating over and under for a lattice pattern (see picture). Brush the dough with the lightly beaten egg.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.
