¼ cup butter

1 pound chicken breast, 1 medium yellow onion, 2 medium yellow potatoes, 2 medium-size carrots
Let the filling cool for about 30 minutes. Check the seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
Preheat oven to 425°F and position the rack on the bottom.
Place 1 unbaked pie crust into a 9” pie plate. Add the cooled pasty filling. Cover with the 2nd unbaked pie crust and seal the edges. Cut a few slits into the top of the pie crust to allow steam to escape while baking.

Place the pie plate on a metal baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven on the bottom rack for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden.
Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Meat options: Traditionally, Cornish pasties are made with beef, so you could sub that meat in if you prefer it to chicken!
Doubling the recipe: If you're doubling the recipe, don't double the butter amount.
To store and reheat:
- Fridge: Cover the pie and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 6 months (up to 3 for best results).
- Reheat: Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
