Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 slices Bacon
• 2 cups Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 cup Carrots, diced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Pre-made pie crusts (top and bottom)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and add them to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken, shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, cooked chicken, bacon, frozen peas, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 7

Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the slightly cooled filling into the crust and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush this egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 10

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
