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
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and cook until they are tender.
- 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.
- Add the cooked chicken, peas, and carrots to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until everything is heated through.
- Place one of the pie crusts into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken filling mixture into the pie crust.
- 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.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
