Instructions

1. Make the pie crust:

  1. In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of ice water over mixture and gently toss with a fork. Repeat until dough is moist enough to hold together.
  3. Divide dough in half and shape into two balls. Roll out each ball on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. Place one crust in the bottom of the pie dish and set aside.

2. Make the filling:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper until smooth. Gradually add chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until mixture boils and thickens.
  3. Add chicken, onion, and mixed vegetables. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour mixture into pie crust. Cover with remaining pie crust, seal edges, and cut slits in the top of the crust.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
