Classic Chicken Pot Pie

I have been making this recipe for several years.  I love that it is homemade, with a few shortcuts.  (I have been learning how to make my own pie crusts.  It is still a work in progress...)  I usually make this using leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, instead of chicken.

Crust

1
box Pillsbury™ refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box 

Filling

1/3
cup butter or margarine
1/3
cup chopped onion 
1/3
cup all-purpose flour
1/2
teaspoon salt
1/4
teaspoon pepper

1 3/4  cups chicken broth (from 32-oz carton) 
1/2
cup milk
2 1/2
cups shredded cooked chicken or turkey 
2
cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

  • 1Heat oven to 425°F. Make pie crusts as directed on box for Two-Crust Pie using 9-inch glass pie pan.
  • 2In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until well blended. Gradually stir in broth and milk, cooking and stirring until bubbly and thickened.
  • 3Stir in chicken and mixed vegetables. Remove from heat. Spoon chicken mixture into crust-lined pan. Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Cut slits in several places in top crust.
  • 4Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown. During last 15 to 20 minutes of baking, cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
