1 1/2 Cups Hatch Green Chile or similar New Mexico Green Chile (Roasted, Peeled, De-seeded, Chopped)

1 Tsp. Thyme (Fresh, Dried, or Ground)

 

Directions for Filling:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400˚ F (200˚ C)
  2. The first thing you’ll need is a large pot. You should already have all your vegetables prepared, i.e. chopped.
  3. Add the butter, celery, onion, peas, and carrots to the pot on a medium-high heat. Cook the vegetables down for a few minutes. Until they’ve become soft, but not translucent. Then add the Parsley, Salt, Pepper, and Thyme.
  4. Add the flour, and stir until you’ve developed a roux.
  5. Add your half and half, chicken broth, and Chardonnay, then turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil.
  6. Once you see it begin to thicken, turn heat down to a medium heat, and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add chicken and Hatch Green Chile, then stir thoroughly, set aside.

Directions for Crust:

  1. You’ll need two 10 inch round glass oven-safe pie dishes.
  2. Add one layer of unrolling pie crust to the bottom of each dish. Then trim excess dough from edges. (no need to grease dish)
  3. Add the Hatch Green Chile Chicken Pot Pie filling to both pies, adding as much as you can.
  4. Now, place the remaining unrolling pie crusts on top of the two filled pies.
  5. Trim the excess dough from the edges.
  6. With a basting brush, brush some of the beaten egg over the entire surface of both pie crusts.
  7. With your hands, seal the edges of the pie, pinching them along the entire seam.
  8. Poke several holes in the top of the pie to allow air to escape while baking.
  9. Place in oven for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven, then let stand for 5 minutes.
  11. Enjoy!!!
