Chicken and Vegetable Pot Pie

Serves 6| Hands-On Time: 35m | Total Time: 1hr 10m

Ingredients

    1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 onions, chopped
    4 carrots, diced
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    2 cups 1 percent milk
    1 10-ounce package frozen peas
    1 tablespoon fresh thyme
    kosher salt and black pepper
    1 9-inch store-bought piecrust, thawed if frozen

Directions

Heat oven to 400° F. Cook the chicken in a pot of simmering water until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes; let cool, then shred.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, 6 to 8 minutes (do not let them darken). Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the milk and simmer until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken, peas, thyme, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a shallow 1½- to 2-quart baking dish. Lay the crust on top, pressing to seal. Cut several vents in the crust. Place the pot pie on a baking sheet and bake until bubbling and the crust is golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
