Ingredients:

1 pound chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 cup carrots, diced

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, combine the shredded chicken, carrots, peas, celery, onion, chicken broth, 1/2 cup milk, flour, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
