This image shows the finished chicken pot pie, with its golden-brown crust and creamy filling. The pie should be baked in the oven until the crust is fully cooked and the filling is bubbly and hot.
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- In a large skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until no longer pink. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender.
- Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed until well blended.
- Gradually stir in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Cook and stir until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
- Stir in the cooked chicken and mixed vegetables.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place one pie crust in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Pour the chicken mixture over the crust.
- Top with the second pie crust, crimping the edges to seal.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
