• 1 teaspoon thyme

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2

   In a medium pot, boil 2 cups of water. Add the chicken breast and cook for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the chicken, let it cool, then shred it.

3. 3

   In the same pot, add 1 cup of diced carrots and 1 cup of peas to the boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.

4. 4

   In a large skillet, melt 1 stick of butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

5. 5

   Stir in 1/3 cup of flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

6. 6

   Gradually whisk in 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of milk. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.

7. 7

   Add the shredded chicken, cooked carrots, peas, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of thyme to the sauce. Stir to combine.

8. 8

   Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.

9. 9

   Cover with a second pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

    Let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes before serving.
