- 1 box refrigerated pie crusts (2 per box)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 rotisserie chicken skin removed and meat chopped into small pieces
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 whole carrots peeled and chopped
- 3 celery stalks chopped
Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Remove skin from chicken and discard. Remove meat and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
In large saucepan melt butter over medium heat.
Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in flour, salt and pepper until well blended.
Gradually stir in chicken broth and cream, cooking and stirring until bubbly and thickened.
Remove from the heat.
Line a pie pan with one pie crust and pour in the chicken pieces.
Pour hot creamy mixture on top of the chicken.
Top with second crust; seal edge anbd flute sides. Cut slits in several places in the top crust to let steam out.
Bake 30 - 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown. During the last 15 - 20 minutes of baking, cover the edges of the crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent the edges from browning too much. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
