    How to Make Hearty Chicken and Vegetable Crumble Pie

    1. Prep Chicken

    In a covered Dutch oven, simmer chicken in broth over medium heat until cooked, 8-12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a bowl; strain broth and reserve. Keep Dutch oven for later use. Preheat oven to 450°F and position rack in the upper-middle part.

    2. Make Crumble Topping

    Mix 2 cups flour, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne in a bowl. Rub chilled butter into flour until coarse cornmeal texture forms. Stir in Parmesan, then add cream until combined. Form irregular pieces on a lined baking sheet. Bake until browned, 10-13 minutes, then set aside.

    3. Cook Vegetables

    In the same Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Cook onion, carrots, celery with salt and pepper until tender, 5-7 minutes. Shred cooked chicken; combine with vegetables in a bowl.

    4. Sauté Mushrooms

    Heat remaining oil, add mushrooms, cook covered until juices release, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and tomato paste, cook until browned, then combine with chicken and vegetables.

    5. Prepare Sauce

    Melt butter in the Dutch oven, stir in 1/2 cup flour, then slowly whisk in reserved broth and milk. Simmer, scraping pan, until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and stir in lemon juice and 2 tablespoons parsley.

    6. Assemble Pie

    Mix chicken-vegetables and peas into sauce, transfer to a 13x9-inch dish. Top with crumble pieces and bake until bubbly and topping is browned, 12-15 minutes. Garnish with remaining parsley.

    Variations

    Cultural Twists

    Make an Italian version with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Italian sausage, or an Indian version with curry powder, ginger, coconut milk, and a cumin-scented crumble topping.

    Curried Crumble Pie

    Introduce a curry sauce made with coconut milk and curry spices.

    Vegetable Variations

    Swap out traditional vegetables for Mediterranean ones like artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives, or go seasonal with asparagus in the spring or butternut squash in the fall.

    Seasonal Vegetable Crumble Pie

    Use seasonal vegetables with appropriate sauces to match the time of year.

    Beef and Mushroom Crumble Pie

    Use ground beef or diced steak with mushrooms and a rich beef gravy sauce.
