Ingredients

• 2 cups Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 cup Carrot, diced
• 1 cup Celery, diced
• 0.75 cup Frozen peas
• 0.33 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Prepared pie crusts (top and bottom)
• 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any overhanging edges if needed, and set it aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrot, and celery, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flavor, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Gradually stir in chicken broth and milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded chicken, peas, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine and remove from heat.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Place the second pie crust over the filling. Pinch the edges to seal, and crimp decoratively if desired. Trim any excess dough.

Step 9

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish.

Step 11

Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
