- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 medium onion, diced (~1 cup)
- 3 stalks celery, finely chopped (~1/2 cup)
- 6 tbsp flour
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 2 medium potatoes, chopped and blanched(~2 cups)
- 3 medium carrots, diced and blanched (~1 cup)
- 1 cup sweet peas
- 2 cups shredded chicken, cooked (~14 oz)
- 1 roll-out pie crust
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 u0b0F. In a large pot, melt butter and add the onions and celery; saute for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the flour; cook for 3-4 minutes for a blond roux.
- 2. Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Stir in half-and-half and cook for 4 minutes; season again with salt and pepper. Stir in the potatoes, carrots, peas and chicken; mix thoroughly.

- 4. Place pie pan on baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until both crusts are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
