Ingredients

2 tablespoons of butter
1 onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
2 cups of chicken broth
1 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup of frozen peas
2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken
2 cups of cubed butternut squash
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, then the milk and bring to a simmer. Add the thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

2. Place the pie crust over the top of the dish and press to seal. Cut a few slits in the top of the crust.
