• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups chicken broth

For the Crust:
• 1 package (2 sheets) store-bought pie crust or homemade pie crust

Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
• Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.

3. Assemble the Pie:
• Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan.
• Pour the prepared filling into the crust.
• Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges with a fork. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
4. Bake:
• Brush the crust with a beaten egg for a golden finish (optional).
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
• Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
