Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Cook the Filling:
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

- Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder.
- Add chicken, carrots, peas, and corn, stirring to combine.
- Simmer for 5 minutes to heat through.
-
Assemble the Pot Pie:
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Pour the chicken and veggie filling into the crust.
- Place the second pie crust on top, crimping the edges to seal.
- Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
-
Bake and Serve:

- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Make it ahead: Prepare the filling in advance and store in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.
- For extra crispiness, brush the crust with an egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tbsp water).
- Swap the protein: Use turkey instead of chicken for a post-holiday meal.
