1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup frozen green peas
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup milk
2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add
water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain
and set aside.
3. In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until
soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed.
Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low
heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid
mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away
excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam
to escape.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry
is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before
serving.
Every year millions of people are affected
by fraud. This includes credit card fraud,
bank fraud, debit card fraud, tax fraud,
identity theft, and more.
TRY THESE TIPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF
FROM FRAUD:
1. Do not store your account number, PIN and
password in your wallet or purse.
2. Use the official posted phone number to call
your financial institution instead of replying to
a number received via text or email.
3. Never give out your account number, PIN or
password on the phone unless you initiate the
call. (TCCU and our fraud monitoring services
will NEVER ask for this information over the
phone unless you initiated the call.)
4. Do not send your full account number, PIN or
password via e-mail or mail.
5. Never store your account information on a
unsecured public computer.
6. Never enter your personal information on
public Wi-Fi channels.
7. Sign up for online banking & mobile banking
to help track your account(s).
8. Enroll in e-statements to avoid paper
statements being lost in the mail or stolen
from your mailbox.
