Cook Time
This recipe takes 35 minutes to bake in the oven.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you'll need the following ingredients: 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 onion (diced), 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 cups of cooked, diced chicken, and 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts.
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, mixed vegetables, flour, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Add the diced chicken and cook until everything is heated through. Place the chicken mixture in a 9-inch pie plate.
Unroll one of the pie crusts and place it over the chicken mixture. Cut off any extra pastry around the edge of the pie plate. Cut a few 3-4 inch long slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape. Place the other crust on top and cut off any extra pastry around the edge. Crimp the edges together to seal. Brush the top of the pie crust with melted butter and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
Place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Equipment

Notes
You can use store-bought pie crusts for this recipe, or you can make your own.

Gradually stir in 1/3 cup of cold water until the dough just comes together. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface and cut it to fit the pie plate.

Recipe Tips
If you want to add a bit of extra flavor to your chicken pot pie, you can try adding some grated Parmesan cheese to the filling. You can also try using white wine instead of chicken broth for the liquid in the filling. If you want to make a vegetarian version of this recipe, you can substitute the chicken for an equal amount of diced mushrooms or cooked lentils. Finally, if you want to make the crust a bit extra special, you can brush it with a beaten egg before baking to give it a golden color and glossy finish.
