butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cook diced chicken in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

Add diced onion, celery, and carrots; sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream, cooking until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add cooked chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper; mix well.

Roll out pie crust and place in a pie dish; pour chicken mixture into the crust.

Cover with another layer of pie crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits for steam.

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until crust is golden brown.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
