Before we get to the cooking, let’s take a look at the key ingredients that make this chicken pot pie a dish to remember!

- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1 cup of milk
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 premade pie crusts (or homemade if you prefer!)

Preparation Instructions

Once you have all of your ingredients squared away, it’s time to assemble the masterpiece! Follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour to form a roux, cooking for about 1 minute until it’s slightly golden.
3. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
4. Add the shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the sauce. Stir well to combine.
5. Spread one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, then pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
6. Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges with a fork or crimping with your fingers. Make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
8. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this dish with your family and savor every bite!
