Remove from heat, drain, and set mixture aside. In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, celery seed, and additional seasonings to taste. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside. Line pie pan with bottom crust. Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over chicken and vegetables, in crust. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slices in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes on lower rack, until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. |

Notes: A delicious chicken pie made from scratch with carrots, peas, onions, and celery! Warms you up and smells great while baking. We serve with a green salad.
We usually add 12 ounces of fresh sliced mushrooms to cook along with the onions until softened. We leave them out when serving guests that aren’t fans of mushrooms. We think they add another great taste and texture!
