This is soooo much better than any store bought full of fat pot pie! I cook mine in a big casserole dish, but you could make individual pies with small tins for each member in your family.
Cooked and diced chicken
2 cans crescent rolls or 2 rolled out pie crusts or puff pastry or biscuits
chopped onion and celery
can mixed veggies or frozen mixed veggies thawed and roasted in oven (YUM)
2 T butter
3 T flour
1 1/2 c chicken broth
salt/pepper/tony's/garlic
cook and dice 3-4chicken breasts
grease the bottom of dish and roll out crescent roll and press to edges of dish
in saute pan cook onions and celery (how much depends on what you like)
add 2 T butter to pan and let melt
add 3 T flour and stir until incorporated with veggies
add 1 1/2 cups HEATED chicken broth to saute pan (just nuke it in microwave while you make roux)
bring to soft boil while stirring constantly until sauce is thickened
remove from heat and add chicken and veggies
pour mixture over bottom crust
roll out crescent roll for top crust (can also use canned biscuits at this point, or puff pastry cut into circles, or pre rolled pie crust)
brush melted butter over crust
bake 400* until crust is browned
this freezes very well-just have to lengthen baking time to 45-50 minutes when frozen and bake covered in foil
