- ¼ cup water
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
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour

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 plate.
- 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, 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 poke a hole in the center.
- Bake the pot pie at 375 for 35 mins. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes and enjoy.
