Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 1 cup sliced carrots
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 1/2 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 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cook the chicken and vegetables: In a saucepan, combine the chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
3. Prepare the sauce: In a separate saucepan, cook the onions in butter over medium heat until soft and translucent. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in the chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Assemble the pie: Place one of the pie crusts in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust. Pour the hot liquid mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Cover with the top crust, seal the edges, and cut away any excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
