Chicken pot pie

layer cooked chicken(cubed or shreeded) and 1/2 bag family size frozen mixed veggies in casserole dish (i save other half of veggies for fried rice later in the week!)

cook 1/2 cup diced onion in melted 1/2 cup butter

when onions are soft add:

1 can chicken broth

2/3 cup milk

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp celery seed

1 can cr. of potato soup

-pour mixture over chicken and veggies, top with a double pie crust (you can use store bought if you prefer but my kids weren't having that....or me if truth be told) Cut slits in the crust bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until it starts to bubble.  Serve with rolls.  Simple and delish!
