Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
• 2/3 cup milk
• 2 1/2 to 3 cups cooked chicken or shredded turkey
• 1 can (10 ounces) of frozen peas and carrots
• 1 box (14.1 ounces) of refrigerated Pillsbury™ pie crusts (2 crusts), softened as directed on the box

Instructions:

Step 1: Create the Roux

• Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, onion, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mixture bubbles; then remove from heat.

Step 2: Add Liquids

• Stir in the chicken broth and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Once boiling, cook and stir for 1 minute. Fold in the chicken, peas, and carrots. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

• Preheat your oven to 425°F. Roll out one pie crust into a 13-inch square and fit it into an ungreased 9-inch glass baking dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust-lined dish.

Step 4: Top and Decorate

• Roll out the remaining pie crust into an 11-inch square. Cut out designs with a 1-inch cookie cutter if desired. Place the square over the filling, arranging the cutouts on top. Tuck the edges of the top crust under the bottom crust edge and flute the edges.
