Filling:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup onion diced finely
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced -about 3 cloves
- 1 1/2 cups carrots cut in small circles
- ½ cup celery diced finely about 2 stalks
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- In a pan, heat olive oil. Sauté onion, garlic, carrots and celery until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add spices, flour and chicken broth, bring to a boil while stirring.
- Once boiling, add in milk, stirring constantly as it thickens.
- Stir in cooked chicken, frozen peas and corn.
- Pour your filling into a greased 9 inch pie dish.
- Preheat your oven to 375.
- Make your crust. This recipe only has a crust on top. Using a stand mixer or hand held mixture, beat flour, butter, salt, black pepper and water until dough forms. It will be a little bit sticky.
- Roll your dough into a round ball and press flat. Place the dough on a floured surface or place between 2 sheets of wax paper and roll until it is large enough to cover your pie plate. Cover your pot pie filling with the crust and cut three slits into the center as shown in the photo.
- Bake the pot pie at 375 for 35 mins. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes, serve and enjoy!

Notes
This is a great recipe to double or triple up and freeze in advance for an easy weeknight meal!
We recommend freezing in a disposable metal pie dish because glass plates can crack.
This is a high protein and vegetable filled meal that you and your family will love!
