Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 package of store bought pie crust
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup onion
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup diced potatoes about 1 medium sized one
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 cups frozen mixed veggies thawed
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare the crusts for a 9-inch pie. Place the bottom crust in the pie pan.
- 2. Peel and dice the potato. Put in a small saucepan, cover with water and cook for about 10 minutes, until soft.
- 3. In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
- 4. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until well blended. About 2 minutes. But watch it closely so it doesn't burn.
- 5. Take a whisk and gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until it's thick and bubbly like gravy.
- 6. Add the shredded chicken, potatoes and mixed veggies. Remove from heat and stir.
- 7. Spoon the mixture into your prepared pie pan. Top with the second crust and flute the edges. Cut 4 slits in the top of the crust.
- 8. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the crust is lightly browned. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Check the crust after about 15 to 20 minutes. If the edges are getting too brown, cover just the edges with foil.
