Finicky Friday - Classic Chicken Pot Pie


Ingredients

Crust:
1 box refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box

Filling:
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup chopped onion (I use dried onion from a bottle lol)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 ¾ cups chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
½ cup milk
2 to 3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed





Directions

Heat oven to 425°F. Prepare pie crusts as directed on box for pie crust using 9-inch glass pie pan.

In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until well blended. Gradually stir in broth and milk, cooking and stirring until bubbly and thickened.

Stir in chicken and mixed vegetables. Remove from heat. Spoon chicken mixture into crust-lined pan. Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Cut slits in several places in top crust.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown. During last 15 to 20 minutes of baking, cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
