Ingredients

• 2 refrigerated pie crusts
• 3 cups cooked chicken, diced
• 1 cup peas and carrots, frozen
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and cook until they are tender.
3. Stir in the flour, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
4. Add the cooked chicken, peas, and carrots to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until everything is heated through.
5. Place one of the pie crusts into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken filling mixture into the pie crust.
6. Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Trim and seal the edges. Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
