hands-on time: 35 minutes/ total time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
1 lb boneless, skinless breasts (I use pieces from a whole chicken or a rotisserie chicken. I do not a whole pound.)
1 T olive oil
2 onions, chopped
4 carrots, diced
3 T all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups 1 percent milk
1 10-ounce package frozen peas (or whatever veggies)
1 T fresh thyme
Kosher salt and black pepper (don't skimp on the pepper)
1 9-inch store-bought piecrust
(Skip if using chicken pieces) Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the chicken in a pot of simmering water until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes; let cool, then shred.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, 6 to 8 minutes (do not let them darken). Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the wine and cook until evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the milk and simmer until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Sir in the chicken, peas, thyme, 3/4 t salt, and 1/4 t pepper. Transfer to a shallow 1 1/2- to 2- qt baking dish.
Lay the crust on top, pressing to seal. Cut several vents in the crust. Place the pot pie on a baking sheet and bake until bubbling and the crust is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. (Mine took 11 minutes for the crust to get golden, everything inside was already warm.)

Use a Dutch oven stove on a campout or in your backyard. Cook till your thermometer reads 350 degrees or about 40-50 minutes.
