Method
 

Planting the Pie Starter
  1. Gently fold the pie crust around a small amount of chicken broth and mixed frozen vegetables, forming a compact "seed." Bury this pie seed about two inches deep in fertile soil, ensuring it is exposed to warm sunlight.
Nurturing the Pie Growth
  1. Water your pie daily with a mix of gravy granules and water, humming a cheerful tune to encourage its growth. Be patient, as pie-growing requires consistent care and positive vibes.
Harvesting Your Pot Pie
  1. Once the pie crust has fully formed and the aroma of a delicious pot pie fills the air, carefully unearth your grown pie. Garnish with shredded cooked chicken and a sprig of fresh thyme, then serve warm.
General Instructions
  1. Combine chicken broth, flour, and melted butter in a saucepan to create a thick, creamy sauce. Stir continuously over medium heat until smooth and bubbly.
  2. Add the cooked potatoes, carrots, and peas to the sauce, mixing well to ensure all vegetables are coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Carefully pour the vegetable mixture into the prepared pie crust. Top with another pie crust, sealing the edges and cutting a few slits to allow steam to escape.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool slightly before serving.
