Homeade Chicken Pot Pie.....my ultimate comfort food!

My ultimate comfort food. I grew up eating frozen pot pies and honestly loved them, until I made one from scratch. I will never eat a frozen one again. I think the hardest part for me was learning to make the roux which is the base for the sauce. I always fear that it will be lumpy. I have finally done well with it and very rarely have lumps. This may be daunting to some (it was to me!), but I think everyone should try it, it is fantastic!

Classic Chicken Pot Pie- adapted from Pillsbury

1 box refrigerated pie crusts
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
1/2 Cup milk
2 cups chopped cooked chicken ( I usually use 2-3 chicken breasts)
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
1 potato diced

Preparation:
Pre-heat oven to 425.
In a large deep skillet, melt butter and sautee onion until tender. Add flour, salt and pepper. Stir with a whisk, until thickened. Slowly add milk and stir vigorously, lumps may appear, but as you add liquid you can usually get rid of them. Add broth, continue stirring until well mixed. Sauce will thicken gradually. When thickened, add veggies, potatoes and chicken.

Place 1st pie crust in pie dish, add filling, top with 2nd pie crust. Seal edges and cut slits in top of crust. Bake 30-40 minutes until crust is golden brown. If edges are getting brown, may add foil to the crust edges to prevent browning. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
