### Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup sliced celery
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ready-made pie crust (top and bottom)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and celery, cooking until they’re softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, cooking for an additional minute, until the mixture is well combined and slightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and then the milk. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and starts bubbling.
- Fold in the cooked chicken and frozen vegetables until everything is well-coated in the creamy sauce. Remove from heat.
- Fit the bottom pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the mixture with the top crust, sealing and crimping the edges to prevent any filling from spilling out. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade Chicken Pot Pie!
