- Skin& bone the chicken, discarding the skin& bones.
- Cut the meat into 1” pieces& set aside.
- Make the pie dough by combining the flour& salt in a medium bowl.
- Add the butter& work with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Using the tines of a fork, stir in the water 1 tablespoon at a time,& work with your hands until a smooth ball forms, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Wrap in plastic& refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Note that you are setting aside the 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water to be used later as an egg wash.
- Peel& dice the remaining 2 carrots, onion,& the remaining 2 stalks of celery.
- In a medium pot, blanch the carrots& peas in boiling water for about 2 minutes, until just cooked through.

- Add the garlic& mushrooms to the skillet or pot& continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft& give off their liquid, which should take about 5 minutes.

- Gently transfer the dough to the baking dish placing half of the dough into the dish with the other half hanging over, which will cover the top of the pie.
- Pour the entire chicken mix into the dish.
- Take the overhanging dough& cover the pie, crimping around the entire pie with your fingers.
- Brush the top of the pastry with the egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water).
- With either a fork or a knife, make small slits over the top of the crust.
- Bake until the crust is a light golden brown& the contents are hot& bubbly, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
