Alright, my friends, let's talk about a dish that's guaranteed to have Mom's smile beaming from ear to ear. We're making her favorite chicken pot pie from scratch, and it's gonna be a thing of beauty! This comforting classic is the epitome of mom's home cooking - simple, hearty, and loaded with love in every bite 
Ingredients:
Instructions:



- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (or use rotisserie chicken)
- 1 cup frozen mixed veggies (peas, carrots, etc.)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts (or make your own if you're feeling ambitious!)

- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Get ready for some piping hot pot pie action!
- In a saucepan, melt that butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until it forms a smooth paste, then gradually add in the chicken broth and milk. Keep whisking, folks!
- Let the sauce come to a simmer, then season it up with salt, pepper, and thyme. Let it thicken up for a few minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove the sauce from heat and fold in the cooked chicken and frozen veggies. Make sure everything is evenly coated in that creamy goodness.
- Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, letting the excess dough hang over the sides. Scoop that chicken-veggie filling into the dish.
- Take the second pie crust and place it over the top. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges together so no filling escapes during baking.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape, then brush the top with a beaten egg or milk for a gorgeous, shiny finish.
- Pop that pot pie into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is deeply golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before digging in. You don't want to burn your tongue on that piping hot filling!
