Instructions
- Make the pie dough by combining butter with dry ingredients, then add water until the dough starts coming together. Chill in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and butter a 9” pie dish.
- Heat oil and butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Sauté onion until translucent, then add garlic and sauté for a minute.
- Add flour and milk, stirring until thick and creamy.
- Add spices and cook for a minute. Turn off the heat and add chicken, veggies, and cheese. Mix and set aside.
- Roll out the pie dough, creating layers, and cover the pan. Prick with a fork and fill with the prepared filling.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cover the pie, pinching the edges and creating a crimping pattern with a fork.
- Generously brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 30 minutes until golden and crispy. If it browns too much, cover with aluminum foil.
