Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 pre-made refrigerated pie crusts

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat and Prepare. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare your 9-inch pie plate by placing one of the pie crusts into the bottom, pressing it firmly against the bottom and sides.
  2. Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sliced celery. Cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent.
  3. Step 3: Create the Roux and Season. Stir the flour, salt, black pepper, and celery seed into the sautéed vegetables. Cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly to remove the raw flour taste. This creates the base for your creamy sauce.
  4. Step 4: Simmer the Sauce. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Continue to cook and stir over medium-heat until the mixture bubbles and thickens. This usually takes about 5 to 8 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Combine Filling Ingredients. Stir in the cooked chicken and the thawed peas and carrots. Remove the saucepan from the heat once everything is well combined and heated through.
  6. Step 6: Assemble the Pie. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared bottom pie crust. Cover with the second pie crust. Seal the edges by crimping them with your fingers or a fork. Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  7. Step 7: Bake to Golden Perfection. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The crust should be a beautiful golden brown and the filling should be bubbly. Let the pie stand for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting to allow the filling to set.
