Chicken Pot Pie

Here is my first, of very few, recipe posts.  This recipe is courtesy of my mother, Linda Lou.  It is a family favorite that never disappoints.  It reheats and freezes well.  I made this today in the midst of getting the house ready for a showing and shoveling the driveway.  The kids are in the last week of daycare and I took full advantage of an empty house.

Ingredients: 1 pkg. ready-to-bake pie crusts, 2 cooked chicken breasts cubed, 1 can Cream of Chicken, 1 can Cream of Potato, 2 cups of frozen veggies (a can of Veg-All works too), pepper, salt, and thyme to taste.
 Preheat oven to 375.
Unroll one of the pie crusts and place in the pie pan.  Spread 1/2 can of Cream of Chicken on the bottom and 1/2 can of Cream of Potato.  Put 1 cup of mixed veggies and 1/2 of the cooked chicken on top.  Add pepper, salt, and thyme to taste.   
Repeat the steps again.  Place the other pie crust on top.

Pinch the sides together. Make slits on the top.  Sometimes I make designs or use a cookie cutter.

Bake for 40-45 minutes.  The crust will be golden brown and the inside will be bubbling.  Let stand for a few minutes for before serving.
It is even good enough for superheros.
