- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
- 1 cup sliced carrots

- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Boil Chicken and Vegetables: In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery with water to cover. Boil for 15 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same saucepan, melt butter and sauté onions until soft. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Gradually add chicken broth and milk, and simmer until thick.
- Assemble the Pie: Place the chicken mixture in the bottom pie crust. Pour the sauce over the top. Cover with the second crust, seal the edges, and trim excess dough. Make slits in the top.
- Bake: Cook in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
