Melt 1/3 cup of butter in a pot.

Add 1/3 cup of onions and cook until soft.

Stir in flour and cook until smooth and thick, about 1-2 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup of milk and 14 oz can of chicken broth to the mixture.

Mix in 2 1/2 cups of shredded chicken and 2 cups of thawed frozen vegetables.

Pour the filling into a pie plate and smooth it out.

Roll out the second refrigerated pie crust and place it on top.

Cut vents in the top crust, about 1 to 1.5 inches long.

Tuck the edges of the crust under and crimp them together.

Place a pie shield or aluminum foil around the edges to prevent burning.

Bake in a 425°F oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
