How to Make Nikki's Healthy But Hearty Double Crusted Chicken Pot Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook carrots and peas until tender-crisp. Drain well and set aside.
  3. Warm shredded chicken; set aside.
  4. In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and milk until smooth.
  5. Crumble in bouillon cubes; whisk constantly until dissolved and sauce begins to thicken (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Stir in chopped onion and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until softened.
  7. Stir in cream of chicken soup and sour cream.
  8. Add the cooked chicken and vegetables; mix well to combine.
  9. Heat through, stirring frequently.
  10. Lightly grease a 2-quart round casserole dish. Unroll one pie crust and gently press into the bottom and up the sides of the dish. You may need to use a rolling pin to adjust the size.
  11. Brush the bottom crust lightly with beaten egg white.
  12. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared crust.
  13. Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp and seal the edges, creating a decorative edge if desired.
  14. Brush the top crust with the remaining egg white. Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  15. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  16. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
