- 4-6 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter

- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

Instructions
For the crust:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
- Divide the dough in half and shape into two disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
For the filling:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the flour, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
- Gradually stir in the chicken broth and milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens.
- Add the chicken, mixed vegetables, and cream of chicken soup. Mix well.
- Remove from heat.
Assembling the pot pie:
- Roll out one of the dough disks on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
- Transfer the crust to a 9-inch pie plate.
- Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
- Roll out the second dough disk and place it on top of the chicken mixture.
- Trim the edges of the crust and crimp to seal.
- Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- You can use leftover cooked chicken or a rotisserie chicken for this recipe.
- If you don't have a 9-inch pie plate, you can use a 9-inch square baking dish instead.
- If you don't have mixed vegetables, you can use any combination of frozen vegetables that you like.
