Ingredients
Scale
1 rotisserie chicken*
6 Tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion diced
2 cloves of garlic minced
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups chicken broth
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (about 10oz.)
2 refrigerated premade pie crusts**
1 large egg beaten
Instructions
Heat your oven to 375°F. Remove the skin and shred the meat from the rotisserie chicken and set aside.
In a deep skillet over medium heat, melt the butter then add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until soft.
Add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute more.
Sprinkle flour over the onion and butter mixture and stir continuously for 1 to 2 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly pour in chicken broth in small amounts, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
Gradually add milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, then simmer and stir for 2 minutes.
Stir in frozen mixed vegetables and shredded chicken, then cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
On a floured surface, roll out one pie crust to about 1 inch wider than the pie dish. Fit this crust into a buttered deep pie dish.
Pour the chicken filling into the crust. Roll out the second crust slightly and cover the filling, sealing the edges.
Mix beaten egg with a tablespoon of water and brush this egg wash over the pie crust including edges. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie for 35 to 40 minutes until the crust is golden. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can substitute the rotisserie chicken for 3 cups of cooked & shredded chicken
If using frozen pie crusts, be sure to follow the directions listed on the package to properly thaw them first
Be sure to use a deep dish pie pan so most of the pot pie filling will fit
