- Whisk in seasonings: thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in frozen carrots and peas.
- Using either a cast iron skillet or deep dish pie pan, spray with nonstick spray with flour. Roll out one pie crust and place at the bottom of pan. Scoop in chicken mixture. Roll out 2nd pie crust and place on top. Fold over bottom crust and crimp into place.
- Brush top crust with beaten egg. Sprinkle lightly with parsley, black pepper and salt.
