Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the air fryer basket is clean and lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Unroll one pie crust and carefully line the bottom of a 6-inch oven-safe dish that fits inside your air fryer basket. Trim excess crust around the edges.
- Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent filling.
- Unroll the second pie crust and place it on top of the filling. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut 2-3 small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust lightly with beaten egg or milk for a golden, glossy finish (optional).
- Carefully place the pie dish into the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, checking midway to ensure even browning.
- Verify the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from air fryer and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.
Tips
- Use a dish that fits perfectly in your air fryer basket to ensure even cooking
- Don't overfill the pie to prevent spillage during cooking
- For extra golden crust, brush with egg wash or milk before air frying
- Let the pie rest after cooking to allow the filling to set properly
- Check the internal temperature to ensure chicken is fully cooked
- If your air fryer tends to cook quickly, check the pie a few minutes early to prevent burning
- Use pre-cooked chicken to reduce overall preparation time
- Experiment with different vegetable combinations for variety
