• 1/4 cup ice-cold water

Instructions

Preparing the Crust:

1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt.
2. Add chilled, diced butter and incorporate using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add ice-cold water and knead the dough until it forms a ball.
4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing the Filling:

1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
2. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
3. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Gradually add chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
5. Add cubed Wormuth Farm chicken, mixed vegetables, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well and remove from heat.

Assembling and Baking:

2. Roll out the chilled pie crust dough and place it into a 9-inch pie dish.
3. Pour the chicken filling into the pie crust.
4. Roll out another piece of dough for the top crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and make small slits on the top for steam to escape.
