2 unbaked pie crusts
Preheat oven to 425F (220C) and place a 9 ½” pie plate on a foil or parchment lined baking sheet. Set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
5 Tablespoons (70 g) salted butter
Add onion and carrot and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
1 (140 g) medium yellow onion,1 cup chopped carrots
Sprinkle flour, salt, paprika, ground mustard, and black pepper over the veggies and stir until completely absorbed and smooth.
⅓ cup (38 g) all-purpose flour,¾ teaspoon table salt,½ teaspoon smoked paprika,¼ teaspoon ground mustard,¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Slowly drizzle in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan as you do, then immediately, slowly drizzle in cream or milk. Cook until slightly thickened (about 1-3 minutes).
2 ½ cups (591 ml) chicken broth,⅓ cup (78 ml) heavy cream
Add chicken and potatoes and thyme and bring to a boil (make sure the chicken is submerged, cut it into smaller pieces if needed). Stir occasionally until potatoes are fork-tender and chicken is easily shreddable.
