chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pie crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought pie crust

Whole wheat offers more fiber, while store-bought can save time.

Start by using a rotisserie chicken for convenience.

Shred the rotisserie chicken using two forks or your fingers.

In a pot, add chopped carrots, onions, and celery; sauté until tender.

Add flour to the sautéed vegetables as a thickener.

Stir in thyme, salt, pepper, and turmeric for color.

Pour in a splash of white wine and let it cook off.

Add a lot of chicken broth to the mixture and let it thicken; adjust with more broth if too thick.

Once thickened, transfer the mixture into a casserole dish and let it cool.

Prepare the pie crust, which can be a combination of butter and shortening for flakiness.

Drape the pie crust over the filling in the casserole dish.

Apply egg wash on the crust and cut slits for steam to escape.

Bake until golden brown.
