Ingredients:

• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken cubed
• 1 cup sliced carrots
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 1/2 cup sliced celery
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
• 2/3 cup milk
• 2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)

2. In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.

3. Cook onions in butter in a saucepan over medium heat until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Place one pie crust in the bottom of a pie dish. Lay the boiled chicken mixture in pie crust. Pour the hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. For a nicely browned crust, brush the top crust with an egg wash (one egg beaten with a tbsp of water) before baking.

6. Cool for ten minutes before serving.
