  - 1 cup diced celery

  - 1 cup diced carrot

- **Sauce:**

  - 1/3 cup melted margarine

  - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  - 2 cups chicken broth

  - 1 cup half-and-half

  - 1 teaspoon salt

  - 1/4 teaspoon pepper

- **Chicken and Crust:**

  - 4 cups cooked and chopped chicken

  - 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)

#### Directions:

1. **Preheat Oven:**

   - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. **Prepare Vegetables:**

   - In a large skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat.

   - Add the diced onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes. Sauté for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

3. **Make the Roux:**

   - Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

4. **Create the Sauce:**

   - Gradually stir in the chicken broth and half-and-half. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly.

5. **Season and Add Chicken:**

   - Stir in the salt and pepper. Add the cooked and chopped chicken, mixing well to combine everything.

6. **Assemble the Pot Pie:**

   - Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a shallow 2-quart casserole dish.

   - Place one pie crust over the top, trimming and crimping the edges to seal. If desired, use the second pie crust to create a lattice top or additional decoration.

7. **Bake:**

   - Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

8. **Serve:**

   - Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

#### Tips:

- **Pie Crust:** For a homemade touch, you can make your own pie crust from scratch using a recipe that combines flour, butter, salt, and water.

- **Vegetable Variations:** Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables such as peas, corn, or green beans.
