Materials:
  • 1 lb. chicken breast halves, cubed
  • 1 c. sliced carrots
  • 1 c. frozen green peas
  • 1/2 c. sliced celery
  • 1-13/ c. butter
  • 1/3 c. chopped onion
  • 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. celery seed
  • 1-3/4 c. chicken broth
  • 2/3 c. milk
  • 2 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts in roll
Methods:
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 min. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
