Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Take one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and cook until they become tender.
- Add the flour to the skillet and stir well, until the mixture becomes thick and bubbly.

- Season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook for a few minutes until everything is heated through.
- Pour the chicken mixture into the pie crust in the dish.
- Cover the filling with the second pie crust and seal the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
