Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
• 1 cup Diced cooked potatoes
• 2 pieces Pie crusts
• 1 piece Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cook the chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water or chicken stock for about 10-12 minutes until cooked through. Remove, let cool slightly, and shred into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until it forms a smooth paste, cooking for about 1 minute.

Step 4

Gradually add the chicken broth and milk to the skillet, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture, stirring, until it thickens—about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Add the shredded chicken, peas, carrots, and potatoes to the sauce, mixing well. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.

Step 7

Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Place the second pie crust over the top of the filling. Seal the edges by pinching or crimping them together. Cut a few small slits in the top crust 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 spills, and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 11

Let the chicken pot pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
