Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use a good quality chicken broth for the best flavor.
• If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this dish in a Dutch oven or large pot on the stovetop. Just simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
• You can adjust the seasonings to your taste. For a richer flavor, add more thyme or salt.
• If you like a thicker pot pie, make a cornstarch slurry by combining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/4 cup water. Add it to the pot and stir until thickened.
