Assemble Pie

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on a rack in the oven. Press one of the pie crusts into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon a layer of gravy (about 1/3 cup) into the crust. Layer the cooked vegetables and shredded chicken into the crust until the filling is level with the top of the pie dish. Pour the rest of the gravy slowly over the filling until gravy is visible at the top. Scatter ¼ cup butter pieces over the filling; top with second crust. Seal the 2 crusts together and crimp with a fork.

7

Prepare Egg Wash

Whisk the egg and milk together in a bowl, and brush the egg wash over the top crust. Pierce the top crust several times to vent steam.

8

Bake Pie

Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check periodically to see if the edge of the crust is browning too quickly; if needed, cover the edge with a strip of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.

About this recipe

This Hearty Chicken and Vegetable Pie is a recipe that's evolved over years of family dinners. It started as a way to use up leftover roast chicken, transforming it into something comforting and satisfying. My grandmother used to make a similar pie, though hers was always a bit more rustic, with a thicker, less refined gravy. This Thermomix® version streamlines the process, making it easier to achieve a consistently delicious result. The beauty of this pie lies in the combination of textures and flavors. The carrots and celery provide a foundational sweetness and earthy note, while the peas, green beans, and corn add pops of freshness and color. The red potatoes contribute a creamy heartiness that balances the other vegetables. The yellow onion, finely diced by the Thermomix®, melts into the gravy, adding depth and complexity without being overpowering. The thyme is crucial; its subtle, herbaceous aroma elevates the entire dish. The chicken broth forms the base of the gravy, lending a savory richness that complements the chicken. Using the Thermomix® makes preparing the vegetables incredibly efficient. The initial chopping step ensures that everything is uniformly sized, which is essential for even cooking. When cooking the vegetables in the broth, be sure to monitor the temperature and adjust the speed if necessary to prevent splattering. The simmering basket is a lifesaver for draining the vegetables, allowing you to retain the flavorful broth for the gravy. When making the gravy, ensure the water is at the correct temperature before adding the gravy mix to prevent lumps. For a vegetarian or vegan version, simply substitute the chicken with hearty mushrooms or lentils. You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile. Rosemary, sage, or even a pinch of smoked paprika would all be delicious additions. This pie is best served warm, straight from the oven. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a nice finishing touch. It's a complete meal in itself, but a simple side salad of mixed greens with a light vinaigrette would provide a refreshing contrast. Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, cover the pie with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. You can also prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days. Assemble and bake the pie just before serving. This is a great way to break up the workload and make it easier to serve a homemade meal on a busy weeknight.
