Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 cup diced potatoes about 2 medium
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 package 14.1 ounces refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked chicken, peas, carrots, and potatoes, and mix well. Remove from heat.
  6. Unroll one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
  7. Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
  9. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

  • To customize, try adding different vegetables like corn or green beans, or use leftover turkey for a Thanksgiving twist.
