How to Make Best Chicken Pot Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, melt 1/4 cup butter. Sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2 carrots (chopped) until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in 2 stalks celery (chopped), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Add 2 cups frozen peas and 3 cups of your favorite vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.

  6. Pour the filling into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
  7. Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush over the top crust.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
