Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

   • Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. Cook the Chicken and Veggies:

   • Stir in diced chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

     
     

3. Assemble the Pie:

   • Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the chicken mixture. Top with the second crust, seal edges, and cut small slits on top to vent.

     
     

4. Bake:

   • Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
