**Chicken Pot Pie Recipe**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
– 1 cup carrots, peeled and diced
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 1/2 cup celery, chopped
– 1/3 cup butter
– 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
– 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
– 2/3 cup milk
– 2 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the carrots, peas, and celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender.
4. Sprinkle the flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine.
5. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture has thickened and is bubbly. Remove from heat.
6. Line a 9-inch pie dish with one of the pie crusts. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the crust.
7. Place the second pie crust on top of the filling. Pinch the edges to seal and cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
9. Allow the chicken pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this comforting dish with your loved ones!
