Homemade Chicken Pot Pie



2 medium-large carrots
1/2 large onions
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, diced(1-2 chicken breasts depending on size)
1cup all-purpose flour
1 can chicken broth
1 chicken bouillon cube, dissolved into broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp ground thyme
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper
2 pie crusts

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cook and dice the chicken breasts.
Finely dice the carrots and onion.
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook until the onions start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes.   Add the already cooked chicken.  Stir together.  Add the flour and stir while cooking for 1-2 minutes.  Add the chicken broth and the bouillon cube.  Now everything will thicken up.  Add the heavy cream and let it simmer for 5 minutes. stirring occasionally.
Add your seasonings.  Line a pie plate with crust, pour in your filling.  Top with another crust.  Cut slits for the steam to escape.  Bake for 35-50 minutes.  Or until the top crust turns a golden brown.  I put mine on another pan just incase there was any bubbling out.  That keeps the oven clean from spills.  Let sit to cool for 10 minutes before cutting, and serving.
