Ingredients:

– 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
– 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
– 1/2 cup diced onion
– 1/2 cup diced celery
– 1/3 cup butter
– 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
– 2/3 cup milk
– 1 package refrigerated pie crusts

Instructions:

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

2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and celery, cooking until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the flour, salt, black pepper, and thyme, cooking for an additional minute to create a roux.

4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture has thickened and is bubbling.

5. Add the cooked chicken and mixed vegetables to the skillet, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Allow the filling to simmer for a few minutes until heated through.

6. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.

7. Unroll one pie crust and place it in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into the crust.

8. Unroll the second pie crust and place it on top of the filling. Pinch the edges of the crusts together to seal the pie. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

9. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

10. Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy the heartwarming flavors of this classic dish that evokes memories of home.
