Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pre-made pie crust (top and bottom)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Sauté Vegetables: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and celery, cooking until tender (about 5 minutes).
- Make the Sauce: Stir in flour, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine: Remove from heat and mix in the shredded chicken and frozen vegetables.
- Prepare the Pie: Pour the chicken mixture into a pie crust in a pie dish. Cover with the top pie crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits in the top for steam to escape.
