Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 F and place a rack in the center.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook carrots, onion, and chicken for about 10 minutes until chicken is mostly cooked and vegetables soften.
Stir in flour for 1 minute until combined.
Add chicken broth and cook, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until well combined.
Incorporate cream, peas, parsley, and thyme, then season with salt and pepper to taste; allow the filling to cool.
Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust and add the cooled filling, spreading it evenly.
Cover with the second pie crust, trim the edges, crimp as desired, and cut vents; optionally brush with an egg wash (egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water).
Bake on a baking sheet for 35 to 45 minutes until the crust is golden and filling bubbles; cool for 10 minutes before serving.
