Steps:

• Unroll and cut one pie crust in half and place each half in bottom of dish with straight edges coming up on both sides. Cut a second rolled pie crust into quarters. Use 1/4 for each end of dish to complete the bottom crust. Press seams together.
• Saute onions, carrots and celerly in large pan with a tsp of butter or olive oil until tender.
• In a very large bowl, mix together chicken, potatoes, peas, sauted onion mix, canned soup & broth. Pour in baking dish and spread out evenly.
• Sprinkle seasonings atop of mixture.
• Place remaining pie crust on top in the same order as you did on bottom. No need to press seams together. The holes will create vents for the steam.
• Bake in over 375 degrees ~ 30 minutes til crust is done.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
• In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
• In the 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-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place the chicken mixture in 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.
• 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.
