EASY CHICKEN PESTO POT PIE

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large Dutch oven over high heat until just smoking. Cook chicken until well browned, about 2½ minutes per side. Add broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until chicken is cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Transfer chicken to large plate and strain broth into bowl.
• Melt butter with remaining tablespoon oil in now-empty Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery and 1/4 teaspoon salt until cook until lightly browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add flour, and cook 1 minute. Whisk in reserved broth, milk and thyme and simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in pesto, frozen peas and carrots.
• Meanwhile, using 2 forks, shred chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add chicken and lemon juice to sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide chicken mixture into six 5-inch ramekins.
• Preheat oven to 400°F and adjust rack to middle position.
• Unwrap and unroll pie crusts onto lightly floured surface. Stick 2 crusts together using 1 of the beaten eggs as "glue." Repeat with remaining 2 crusts. Cut out 6 circles, each around 6 inches in diameter. Top ramekins with pastry circles and use a fork to seal edges. Using paring knife, make 3 steam vents in each crust.
• Brush crusts with beaten egg and then bake until crusts are golden brown, about 35 minutes. Let pot pies rest 10 minutes before serving.
