• Remove skillet from heat and stir chicken, peas and carrots, and potatoes into the broth mixture.
• Press one pie pastry into the bottom of a deep-dish pie pan. Pour the broth mixture into the pie pastry. Top with remaining pastry and press edges together to form a seal. Cut several slits into the top pastry. Place pie plate on a baking sheet.

Steps:

• Read recipe notes before beginning.
• Add chicken to a large pot then add 4 cups water (it's OK if the chicken isn't submerged). Season per your preference, cover then cook over low heat for about 2 hours or until the legs and thighs are pulling apart from the chicken.
• Remove chicken to cool then strain broth, reserving 2 cups. Save the remaining broth for another recipe.
• Once cool enough to handle, remove skin and bones from chicken then cut into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Sauté carrots, celery and onion in butter over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper, thyme and flour then stir until very well combined. Continue cooking for 2 minutes.
• Combine reserved 2 cups of broth with half & half then slowly pour over vegetables. Using a large whisk, stir and cook until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat then stir in chicken.
• Roll out one pie pastry on a lightly floured surface until just large enough to line the bottom and slightly overhang the sides of a 1.5-quart deep dish pie pan or other round or oval baking dish. Pierce the bottom of the pastry 4-5 times with a fork.
• Pour chicken mixture over bottom pastry.
• Roll out remaining pastry just large enough to slightly overhang the top. Lay pastry over chicken mixture then folder over bottom pastry, pinching to seal.
• Cut 3-5 slits in the top pastry to vent then bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Place a pie guard or aluminum foil ring over edges after about 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
• Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
