CANNABIS-INFUSED CHICKEN POT PIE WITH FLAKY HERB CRUST

A true hearty family dinner made completely from scratch. Tender chicken, carrots, peas, celery, and onion are folded into a rich velvety cream gravy, then baked under a deeply golden herb crust. Finished with cannabis thyme butter in the filling, this is the kind of table-center meal everybody wants a second scoop of.
