Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 medium, diced carrots
• 2 medium, diced celery stalks
• 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon, or to taste salt
• 0.5 teaspoon, or to taste black pepper
• 3 cups, shredded or diced cooked chicken
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 2 9-inch rounds, store-bought or homemade pie crust dough
• 1 large, beaten (for egg wash) egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1-2 minutes, allowing the raw flour to cook off.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.

Step 5

Stir in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 6

Mix in the shredded or diced chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Roll out one pie crust round and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Place the second pie crust round over the filling. Trim the edges, seal them together by crimping, and cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, shiny finish.

Step 11

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

Step 12

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