Ingredients

Instructions
Follow these easy steps to whip up your chicken pot pie:

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Roll out one of the pie crusts and lay it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
- Pour the chicken mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth!
