Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken, about 4 pounds
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 refrigerated pie crusts

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large pot, place the whole chicken and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through.
3. Remove the chicken from the broth and let it cool. Once cool, shred the chicken meat and set aside.
4. In a separate pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.
5. Add the flour to the pot and stir well to create a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
6. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
7. Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
8. Place one pie crust in a greased 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
9. Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Seal the edges and cut slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
12. Slice into wedges and serve hot. Enjoy!
