Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a saucepan, combine chicken, peas, carrots, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, 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-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place the chicken mixture in the bottom pie crust. Pour 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.
