Ingredients

• 1 box refrigerated pie crusts (2 pie crusts)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup finely diced onion
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 3/4 cup almond milk or oat milk (or your favorite milk)
• 1/2 cup carrots, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup parsnips, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 cups sweet potato, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 cups butternut squash, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken

Here's how to make it: 

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Stir in flour, salt and pepper and cook briefly.
2. Whisk in chicken broth and non-dairy milk, stirring until you reach a simmer. Add the vegetables and cook until they become slightly soft, stirring frequently for about 10 minutes. Add chicken and set aside.
3. Unroll one pie crust and place in a 9-inch glass pie pan. Pour mixture into crust-lined pan. Top with the second crust and seal edges. Cut several slits into the top of the dough with a sharp knife. Place foil around the outer crust to prevent burning.
4. Bake in a preheated 425-degree F oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil from edges and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Allow pie to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Note: You could also bake this in a taller casserole dish instead of a pie plate or in individual casserole dishes.
