Ingredients

  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  4. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, until well combined.
  5. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, cooking until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
  6. Add the cooked chicken, frozen vegetables, peas, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  7. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  8. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  9. Cover the pie with the second pie crust, pressing the edges to seal. Trim any excess crust.
  10. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  12. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
