Scallions, broccoli, or any other vegetables of choice (chopped)

1/3 cup butter 

1/3 cup all-purpose flour 

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup milk 

2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, celery, potatoes, and onion. Salt and pepper a bit. Add 2 cups chicken broth and enough water to submerge the ingredients. Cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside

2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Place one pie crust on bottom of pie pan, pour chicken mixture into the bottom. Pour hot liquid mixture over.
