Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 1 large celery stalk, diced
• 3 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup artichoke hearts, quartered (canned or jarred, drained)
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 disk pre-made pie crust
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then cook them for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Shred or chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet. Stir in the baby spinach, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the spinach has wilted.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir until the flour is evenly coated. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once the sauce begins to thicken, stir in the heavy cream, thyme, oregano, and parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet mixture into a deep 9-inch pie dish. Roll out the pre-made pie crust and lay it over the dish, trimming any excess dough around the edges.

Step 8

Crimp the edges of the crust and cut small slits in the center to allow steam to escape. Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 10

Let the Tuscan Pot Pie cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
