Preparation

• If you haven't already, prep your pie crust. You can also use store bought pie crust here for a shortcut! Add the bottom layer into a 9 inch pie dish and set aside.
• Melt the butter over medium heat in a large pot. Add in the onion and celery. Saute for about 5 minutes.
• Mix in the flour, salt, pepper, thyme and Italian seasoning.
• Add in the half and half, chicken broth, bouillon, frozen veggies and chicken.
• Mix everything to combine, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about five minutes to let the sauce thicken and the flavors combine.
• Transfer the filling to the pie dish. Roll out the second half of the dough and add to the top of the filling. Use a fork to seal the edges, or use your thumb and index finger to make indents all the way around. You can also use a knife to make a few slits in the top, but this is just really for decoration!
• Whisk the egg in a small dish and use a brush to brush on top of the pie crust.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes to let the filling set a bit, then garnish with fresh thyme if desired and enjoy!
