Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pie crust by letting it come to room temperature if refrigerated.
- Shred the cooked chicken and measure out the mixed vegetables and cheese.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and set aside for the egg wash.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Stir in the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, and half of the shredded cheese until well combined.
Finishing
- Transfer the chicken mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top.
- Lay the pie crust or puff pastry over the filling, trimming any excess and pressing edges to seal. Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
