Ingredients:

  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 2 quart casserole dish.

  5. Lay one sheet of pastry in the bottom of the greased and floured casserole dish. Pour the chicken mixture over the pastry.
  6. Cover the filling with the second sheet of pastry. Seal the edges of both sheets. Cut steam vents in the top pastry.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
