Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease an oven-safe baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the flour and cook for one minute, then slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until smooth and thickened.
- Add the diced chicken, broccoli florets, salt, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Transfer the filling into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Place the pie crust over the filling, seal the edges, and cut small slits on top to release steam.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Let the filling cool slightly before adding the crust for best texture.
- Freshly shredded cheddar melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
- Allow the pie to rest before slicing so the filling sets properly.
