Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
2. • In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
   • Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
3. Add the Chicken and Vegetables:
4. • Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, frozen corn, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.
5. Assemble the Pot Pie:
6. • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the crust.
   • Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
7. Bake the Pot Pie:
8. • Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
