Chicken Pot Pie
 “This is my husband’s favorite tea room food. This recipe makes two full-sized pies, one to eat and one to freeze.”

2 pastries for 2-crust pies (ready-made is fine, but homemade is better)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup flour
3 cups chicken broth
1 10-ounce bag frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 cup sliced celery
6 tablespoons butter
3 cups chicken, cooked and cubed
1 cup potato, peeled and cubed
1/2 teaspoon celery salt

     In a small saucepan, cook potatoes and celery until tender; add frozen vegetables and cook for 5 minutes; drain. Sauté onion in butter until tender but not brown. Blend in flour and salt, browning slightly. Add broth all at once. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly.
     Add chicken and cooked vegetables. Stir in celery salt; set aside. Prepare pastry for bottom of pie pan. Trim edges. Pour chicken filling into prepared pie shell. Top with remaining pastry. Seal edges and flute. Cut steam vents in top. Brush top pastry with milk. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
