Here's what you need:
2- 1/2 cups of cooked chicken
(breast or thigh meat, cubed)
1 10 3/4 oz. chicken broth condensed
1 1/3 cups water (divided use)
4 medium carrot sliced
3 medium red potato diced
2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups mushrooms quartered
1 medium onion coarsely chopped
1 cup peas, frozen
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 ready- made pie crust (in the refrigerated section of your store)

 

Here's how to make it:

Combine broth, 1 cup water, carrots and potatoes in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth mixture and peas. Whisk remaining 1/3 cup water into the flour until smooth; whisk into vegetable mixture. Increase heat to medium-high; bring to a boil.

Spread out piecrust on floured surface. Measure and roll, if necessary to fit 1 -inch larger than top of a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Stir chicken into vegetable mixture and transfer to the baking dish. Place crust over filling; trim and flute edge. Cut a scalloped round from the center with a cookie cutter.

Bake until filling is bubbly and crust is browned, about 20 minutes.
