Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and let it fully preheat while you prepare the filling.
  2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk in flour to form a light golden roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in chicken broth then milk, simmer until the mixture thickens and bubbles.
  4. Add salt, pepper, onion powder; fold in diced chicken and frozen vegetables; heat through.
  5. Place one pie crust in a 9‑inch pie dish, pour in filling, cover with second crust, trim excess, seal edges, and cut slits for steam.
  6. Bake 30–35 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling; cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier bottom
  • pre‑bake the crust 5‑7 minutes before adding filling. Use cold butter and crusts for optimal flakiness. Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to three days or freeze for two months.
