#### Ingredients:

- 1 cup potato, diced

- 1 cup onion, diced

- 1 cup celery, diced

- 1 cup carrot, diced

- 1/3 cup margarine, melted

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 2 cups chicken broth

- 1 cup half-and-half

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

- 4 cups chicken, cooked and chopped

- 2 pie crusts

#### Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Oven:**

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

2. **Saute the Vegetables:**

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

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

3. **Make the Roux:**

   - Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to cook out the raw flour taste.

4. **Make the Sauce:**

   - Gradually stir in the chicken broth and half-and-half. Continue to 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 to the mixture and stir until well combined.

6. **Prepare the Casserole:**

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

7. **Add the Pie Crust:**

   - Cover the filling with the pie crust. You can use a single crust on top or a double crust (one on the bottom and one on top) if you prefer. If using a double crust, line the casserole dish with one pie crust before adding the filling, then place the second crust on top. 

   - Crimp the edges of the pie crust to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

8. **Bake:**

   - Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and flaky.

9. **Serve:**

   - Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving.
