Thurdays Ramblings - A quick and Simple go to - Chicken Pot Pie

My ramblings for Nov are going to be recipes. Why? Just because. Today's recipe is a simple Chicken Pot Pie. I make 3 or 4 of these at a time and freeze most of them. Keeping 1 for dinner - lol. It takes about an hour in a 350 oven to reheat a frozen one, so it's a super go to meal on a busy night.
Most of my recipes are from scratch, but this is a cheat recipe. It uses a can of soup, frozen veggies and I use premade pie shells.
If - ever - there is a time when I'm really bored, I'll make the pie shells from scratch.

Note - the can of soup flavour - I suggested 4 different ones - they all work and it depends on your taste - but it has to be "Cream of..."

Also - please note - I'm not an expert at writing out recipes - I'm a romance writer. So if there's an issue - let me know and if you don't understand - ask.

Where did I get this recipe? Who knows I've had it for well over a decade.

Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients
2 premade pie shells - thawed
1 can soup (Cream of Potato, Cream of Celery, Cream of Chicken, Cream of Mushroom)
1 cup Frozen veggies - the mixed kind - carrots, peas corn
2 cups cooked diced chicken
Milk - 1/2 a soup can - add more if it seems really dry - shouldn't be sloppy
1/2 tsp thyme - adjust to taste
1/2 tsp pepper - adjust to taste
1 egg - beaten

Turn oven to 350. (Sorry I don't know what that is in the other measurements).
In a bowl mix all the ingredients from soup to pepper. Pour into 1 pie shell. Carefully place other pie shell on top. With a pastry brush, egg wash the beaten egg over the top of the pie crust.

Place in preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.

Reheats great for leftovers.
