1/3 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups low sodium chicken broth or chicken stock

1/4 cup half and half or cream

1 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and adjust oven rack to middle position. Brush the bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast iron skillet or similar with vegetable oil. Set aside.

In a separate large skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Increase to medium-high heat cooking the celery and green onion for 3 minutes or until the celery is beginning to soften.

Lower the heat to medium, stirring constantly add the flour to the skillet. Stir until the butter has absorbed the flour.

Continue whisking gradually adding the chicken broth. Increase the temperature and bring to a boil. Add the half and half then immediately lower the heat to simmer. Add the poultry seasoning, garlic salt, tarragon, lemon pepper and black pepper. Mix well. Simmer for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, remove from the heat and mix in the chicken and vegetables. Mix well.

Unroll one pie crust and fit firmly onto the bottom and sides of the skillet. Pour the filling into the crust.

Fit the second crust on top. Fold under pressing the edges of the crusts together and pinching to seal. Crimp the edge.

Cut slits in the middle of the crust to vent. Brush with the beaten egg wash.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes then slice and serve.
