Ingredients

3 cups shredded chicken
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flour
1.5 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 pie crusts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375˚F.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots, onion, poultry seasoning and salt, and saute until tender, about 5-8 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for about 60 seconds. Then pour in the broth and heavy cream and simmer until thickened. Add the chicken and mix to combine.
Place the bottom pie crust in a 9 inch pie plate. Pour the chicken filling in the pie crust and top with the second crust.
Seal the edges, then cut a few slits in the top of the crust to allow the steam to escape as the chicken pot pie cooks.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until pie crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes, then cut and serve.

Notes
