The best most amazing pot pie ever

My boyfriend doesn't like most "real" food. He's big into those really awful pot pies that come in the freezer section (yeck). I on the other hand love homemade, from scratch food. We both agreed that this is the best pot pie we have ever had, by far, and you cannot beat the nutrition facts. And it's easy!

2 Large Celery Sticks
2 chicken breasts (or turkey)
2.5-3 cups of water
3-5 cloves of garlic, minced, or 1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 Large Carrot, chopped
1 Medium white onion, chopped
2 tablespoons of butter
rosemary
pepper
parsley
1/2 cup of frozen or fresh peas
1 cup of non-fat plain greek yogurt (I like the greek gods')
1/4 cup of white flour (might be able to use whole wheat, but haven't tried it)
1 pie crust, homemade or store bought
egg whites for wash, if desired

Step 1
Boil chicken and celery in the water; water should cover the chicken, but not by too much (I hate the texture of celery, so I don't cut up the stalks and put it in with the other veggies. Boiling it with the chicken leads a little celery flavor without adding celery pieces. If you want pieces of celery, just cut it up and add it when you cook the carrots and the onions later).

Once the chicken is mostly cooked through, remove from heat. Cut up the chicken and save 1-1.5 cups of the liquid chicken stock (I'd save the rest of it too, for future recipes cause chicken stock is so good in everything). Preheat oven to 375°C

Step 2
In a medium saucepan, sauté onions, carrots, rosemary, parsley in the butter until tender. Stir in flour and seasonings. Slowly whisk in broth and simmer until thick, about 30 seconds.

Step 3
Stir in chicken, peas and Greek yogurt. Pour mixture into 9½-inch pie plate.

Step 4
Place pie crust over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges of pastry and score top to vent. Brush crust with egg wash (optional).

Step 5
Bake potpie until golden brown, about 45 minutes (if your oven cooks unevenly, rotate about halfway through). Let stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Serving size is 1/4 of the pie
