lookie, lookie!

we got all adventurous over here and made chicken pot pie.  it's even packed with veggies... and i actually ATE them.  here's the recipe in case you are feeling adventurous, too.  or maybe this isn't deemed "adventurous" for you.  no matter.  our version has lots of shortcuts.  :)

pillsbury pie crust
1/3 cup butter
1-2 tablespoons minced onion
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 can chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups shredded chicken
(we just use 2 cans of chicken)
1 bag of frozen veggies

heat oven to 425 degrees.  in 2 quart saucepan melt butter.  add onion and cook until tender.   stir in flour, salt, and pepper.  stir in broth and milk gradually.  stir until thick and bubbly.  stir in chicken and veggies and remove from heat.  line pie pan with crust, fill with goodies, top with more crust, and cut slits.  bake 20 min, put foil strips on edges so they don't burn, cook for 15-20 more minutes (35-40 minutes total).  let stand for 10 minutes... and then EAT!
