FILLING:

1/3 c. chicken fat
1/3 c. chopped onion
1/3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 3/4 c. chicken broth
2/3 c. milk
2 c. cut up chicken
10 oz. frozen peas & carrot mix

In saucepan melt fat. Add onions and saute until golden. Add flour, salt and pepper. Cook until bubbly. Add liquids and stir until mixture returns to boiling. Boil and stir one minute. Stir in chicken and vegetables.

CRUST:

1 c. flour
1 tsp. celery seed
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 c. + 1 tbsp. shortening
2 - 2 1/2 tbsp. water

Stir dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening. Add water and stir until mixture forms ball. Roll out to fit casserole dish or make "cookies". Put mixture in casserole, cover with crust. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.

NOTE: Butter may be substituted for chicken fat but flavor won't be as good. Dough for crust is usually better if refrigerated at least 2 hours before rolling out. If pie needs to be held for a couple hours (church pot lucks), put mixture in casserole without crust "cookies". Add "cookies" just before serving (5 minutes). Prebake "cookies".

The mixture can also be cooked completely on stove top over low heat and "cookies" added before serving.
