Chicken Pot Pie

Recipe from: Melanie A.

INGREDIENTS
1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup frozen green peas
1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
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
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup milk
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (220 degrees C.)

In a large pot combine chicken, carrots, peas, and potato. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside. Shred chicken.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, celery seed, and poultry seasoning. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Pour sauce over chicken mixture to combine.

Pour filling into pastry lined deep dish pie pan. Cover with second crust, crimp the edges, and make several small slits to allow steam to escape.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
