Ingredients

  • 2 cups of wheat flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

  • 1/2 cup chilled butter, cut into cubes

  • 4-6 tablespoons of ice water

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken

  • 1 chopped onion

  • 2 minced garlic cloves

  • 1 large grated carrot

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas

  • 1/2 cup green corn (optional)

  • 1 cup of chicken broth

  • 1/2 cup of milk

  • 2 tablespoons wheat flour

  • 2 tablespoons of butter

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 beaten egg yolk (for brushing the pie)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • In a large bowl, mix the wheat flour and salt. 
    Add the chilled butter and mix with your hands or a pastry cutter until you get a crumbly texture. 
    Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and stir until the dough forms a ball. 
    Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough rests in the fridge, prepare the filling. 
    In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. 
    Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and lightly golden. 
    Add the carrots, peas and corn, and saute for a few more minutes.
  • Add the wheat flour to the pan and mix well. 
    Pour in the chicken broth and milk little by little, stirring constantly, until you get a creamy sauce. 
    Cook for a few more minutes, until the sauce thickens. 
    Season with salt and pepper to taste. 
    Remove from the heat and stir in the shredded chicken.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into two parts – a slightly larger one for the base and a smaller one for the lid.
  • Roll out the larger dough on a floured surface and transfer to a pie pan.
  • Place the chicken filling over the dough in the form.
  • Open the smaller dough and cover the pie. 
    Press edges to seal and cut small slits in top of dough to allow steam to escape.
  • Brush the pie with the beaten egg yolk.
  • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
