How to make chicken pot pie:

About 3 1/2 hours before serving, in large saucepot or 6-quart Dutch oven, place chicken, giblets, Bouquet Garni, 4 teaspoons salt and hot water to cover chicken. Over high heat, heat mixture to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 1/4 hours or until chicken is fork-tender. Discard Bouquet Garni. With slotted spoon, remove chicken to large bowl; cool. Remove and discard chicken bones and skin. Cut meat and giblets into bite size pieces.

Meanwhile, measure 2 1/2 cups broth; reserve. (Cover and refrigerate remaining broth for favorite soup another day.) Return reserved broth to saucepot; add onions, carrots and celery. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Drain vegetables, reserving broth.

In 1 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat, into hot butter or margarine, stir flour until blended. Gradually stir in half and half, reserved broth, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, just to boiling. Pour over vegetables in saucepot. Stir in chicken and peas. Pour mixture into 13 x 9-inch baking dish.

Preheat oven to 400°. Prepare pie crust mix as label directs. Roll dough in 15 x 11-inch rectangle. Fit crust loosely over chicken mixture. Trim overhang to about 1-inch and make fluted edge. In small bowl with fork, beat egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water. Brush pie crust with beaten egg yolk. With point of knife, make several slits in crust. Bake pot pie 40 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Cover loosely with foil if crust gets too brown while baking. Makes 9
