Chicken Pot Pie

Laura gave me this recipe. I tried it out on my Dad yesterday- with stunning results! He said I needed to pass this along to my Mom- so here you go, happy cooking!

10 oz. frozen peas & carrots- or any veggie mix
1/3 c. butter
1/3 c. flour
1/3 c. chopped onion
1/2 tea. salt
1/2 tea. pepper
1 3/4 c. chicken broth (the whole can seems to work too)
2/3 c. milk
3-4 diced chicken breasts
pre-made 2-crust pastry

Quickly throw chicken pieces into a greased skillet and cook through, then set aside. Rinse veggies and drain. In large saucepan, melt butter over med. heat. Stir in flour, onions, salt, & pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in broth and milk. Heat to boiling. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken and veggies.
Heat oven to 425.
Roll pastry into 13" square. Ease into the bottom of a 9x9 pan. Pour chicken mix into pan.
Roll remaining dough into a 11" square and place over the top of chicken. Cut lines in top to vent. Bake 35 mins.

Idea! Serve and then top with ketchup- so yummy!
