"This is my favorite for these cozy fall evenings we've been having. This semi-homemade show stopper uses a Costco rotisserie chicken, and store bought pie crusts! Why slave away in the kitchen when you don't have too?" -Recipe by Miss Rainy Simpson
4 Tablespoons of butter
1 medium yellow onion
3 carrots, thinly sliced
3 stalks of celery, thinly sliced
1 lb. of mushrooms, roughly chopped
3 Tablespoons of flour
1 1/2 cups of chicken broth
1 whole store bought rotisserie chicken, cubed
1/2 cup of cream
2 prepared pie crusts
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. In a large pan melt 2 Tablespoons of the butter over medium heat, add the onions. I recently discovered frozen chopped onions and will never go back to crying over the cutting board in the kitchen;) Since the recipe calls for one onion I added one cup of the frozen to the pan.
To the onions, add the celery and carrots. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Remove from pan and set aside in a bowl.
To the empty pan add remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter and chopped mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until they have given off their moisture and are tender (about 10 minutes).
Return onion, carrot and celery mixture to the pan with the mushrooms.
Add flour and stir for one minute.
Add chicken broth slowly, while stirring, and bring to a simmer. Stir until thickened.
The add the chopped chicken.
Then combine with the cream.
Using a slotted spoon, fill pie crust with chicken and vegetable filling. Pour in any remaining liquid until crust is almost filled to the top.
Place the top layer of pie crust on top, crimp the edges, and cut slits to vent. Brush the top of crust with an egg/water wash for a nice golden crust.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until pie crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Set aside to let rest for 10 minutes, then serve.
