Old fashioned chicken potpie

Old fashioned chicken potpie is uses leftover chicken, I serve it sometimes as an impressive company dinner. My husband enjoys it more than the original roasted bird with all the fixings! From Marilyn Hockey of Lisle Ontario.

Ingredients 
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups water
2/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables

PASTRY:
1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons celery seed

Method 
In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, garlic, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually stir in water, milk and bouillon.

Bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in chicken and vegetables; set aside.

For pastry, combine flour and celery seed in a bowl. 

Cut in cream cheese and butter until crumbly. Work mixture by hand until dough forms a ball. 

On a lightly floured surface, roll two-thirds of dough into a 12-in. square. Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish.
