Wow...I've attempted chicken pie before and had terrible results but not this time. Delicious!! I made a ton of tweaks, so many that I'm not sure if what I made is really the same recipe anymore. I heated two cans of soup (cream of chicken and cream of chicken with herbs) thinned with some milk and stock and made an additional sauce with 1/3 cup butter, 1/3 cup flour (whisked together and cooked for 2 minutes), 1 and 3/4 cup chicken stock, 3/4 cup milk, salt, pepper, celery seed and fresh thyme. I wanted to be sure I had tons of gravy. Once I mixed all that together I reserved a third of it to top the pie and mashed potatoes with. I cook up a chopped onion, 3 ribs of celery and 3 shredded carrots in some butter. I then sliced up a roast chicken and boiled and chopped up 2 potatoes. I threw all that in along with a can of peas. Now I had enough for two pies. I put 1/2 the filling in the freezer for next time. Used 2 deep dish ready made crusts. One I poked holes in and flashed baked for 10 minutes at 350 and the other I used to top it all, giving it an egg wash and cutting some holes in the top. Cooked at 350 until golden.
