- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1 cup frozen pearl onions
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup vegetable shortening
- 5-6 tablespoons ice water
Instructions
Preparing the Filling:
Step 1: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and pearl onions, and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 2: Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3: Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables and stir until well combined.
Step 4: Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 5: Add the peas, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
Preparing the Crust:
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the vegetable shortening using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Gradually add in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together to form a ball.
Step 3: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Assembling the Pie:
Step 1: Preheat your Wolfgang Puck Pie Maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2: Cut the rolled-out crust into circles that will fit into the pie maker. You will need two circles for each pie (one for the bottom and one for the top).
Step 3: Gently press one circle of dough into each well of the pie maker, making sure to leave some overhang around the edges.
Step 4: Spoon the chicken mixture into each well, filling them about 2/3 of the way full.
Step 5: Top each well with another circle of dough, pressing the edges together to seal the pies.
Step 6: Bake the pies in the pie maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
