Equipment

  • 9-inch Pie Plate
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

Filling & Crust

  • 1 box refrigerated pie crusts 14.1 oz package, contains 2 crusts
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion or 1½ tablespoons dried
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1.75 cups chicken broth low sodium or homemade
  • 0.5 cup milk 2% preferred
  • 2.5 cups cooked shredded chicken rotisserie or leftover
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables thawed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until tender, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Cook, stirring constantly, to form a thick roux.
  • Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
  • Stir in cooked chicken and thawed vegetables until evenly combined.
  • Pour the filling into the pie crust. Place the second crust on top, seal and crimp the edges, and cut small slits to vent.
  • Bake for 30–40 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  • Let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

This pot pie is perfect for using up leftover chicken or veggies. For extra shine, brush the top crust with milk or egg wash before baking. Want to freeze? Prep and freeze unbaked, then bake from frozen for a comforting meal anytime.
