Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups  shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables–cooked just short of fully cooked according to package directions.
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled, chopped and steamed until just cooked.
  • 1/3 cup  butter
  • 1/3 cup  onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup  all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon  black pepper
  • 1 3/4 cups  chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup  milk
  • 2 premade pie crusts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Place one pie crust in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cooked vegetables, and season to taste. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the onions in the butter until soft and translucent.
  • Stir in the flour, salt and pepper. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk.
  • Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat, pour over the chicken and vegetables and mix well.
  • Pour mixture into the prepared pie shell and add top crust.
  • Cut away any excess dough and seal the edges. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
