Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9 inch pie dish with pastry.
  2. Blanch frozen mixed vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
  3. Dice chicken and place in a large bowl. Add vegetables, thyme, celery soup and potato soup. Stir together.
  4. Pour filling into pastry lined pie dish. Arrange top layer of pie crust, seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in the top of the crust to allow for steam to escape.

Remove foil and continue to bake for an additional 30 minutes until golden brown.
