1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C).

2. Step 2

   Nestle one pie crust into a pie plate, while the second crust takes a chill in the refrigerator for later use.

3. Step 3

   In a medium saucepan, combine cubed chicken, sliced carrots, green peas, and celery, then cover with water and bring to a vigorous boil.

4. Step 4

   Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender, which should take about 15 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once cooked, drain the mixture and set it aside.

6. Step 6

   In another medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then toss in the chopped onion, sautéing until it becomes soft and translucent, roughly 5 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Next, sprinkle in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed, stirring to combine.

8. Step 8

   Gradually pour in chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

   Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.

10. Step 10

    Now, spread the chicken and vegetable medley evenly across the bottom pie crust, then drizzle the hot sauce over the filling.

11. Step 11

    Gently place the second pie crust on top, sealing the edges and trimming any excess dough.

12. Step 12

    Don’t forget to cut a few small slits in the top crust to let the steam escape.

13. Step 13

    Slide your pie into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling bubbles enticingly.

14. Step 14

    Once out of the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

    Enjoy a slice of comfort that warms the heart and delights the palate.
