Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2

In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes, then drain.

3

In another saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent (5-7 minutes). Mix in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed.

4

Gradually stir in chicken broth and milk.

5

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the mixture thickens (5-10 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

6

Place chicken and vegetables in the bottom pie crust. Pour hot broth mixture over the top.

7

Cover with the top crust, seal the edges, and trim excess dough. Create several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

8

Bake until the pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly (30-35 minutes). Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
