Over the years I have tried to make homemade chicken pot pies and have never liked how any of them turned out. Recently I was given several boxes of the pre-made pie crusts and I created my own recipe that turned out so good the kids ate every drop!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 13x9x2" baking dish with non-stick spray.
Lay three of the pie crusts in your dish the best you can to cover the bottom, sides and enough to leave a 1/4"-1/2" lip on the edge of the dish.
Place one cup of the meat into the dish, spreading around the bottom. Salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle some garlic powder over chicken, reserving some for top layer. Add vegetables spreading them over the chicken.
Add other cup of chicken to top of vegetables and season with remaining salt, pepper and garlic powder. On the stove, melt two sticks of butter or margarine and let cook until it starts to turn golden.
Add the flour and using a wire whisk, stir quickly to remove any lumps. Add 1 1/2-2 c. of milk until it is the consistancy you like. Remember, oven cooking time will thicken it some.
Take remaining pie crust and fold into fourths and cutting on the folds. Place one on each end on top of the chicken and place the other two in the center. You will have gaps, but this is perfect for ventilation. Fold the bottom crust edges over the top, forming the edge.
Place in preheated oven for 45-60 mins. or until crust is golden.

Filling:
Glaze:
To prepare pastry, in a medium bowl, mix together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour until coarse crumbs form. In a small bowl, beat together egg and water. Add to the flour mixture; mix lightly until a soft dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
To prepare filling, place chicken in a 2 qt. casserole. In a large skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add mushrooms; increase the heat to medium high; and saute' until browned and the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the water; cook until almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add mushroom mixture to chicken; stir to combine.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together cream, flour, paprika, salt, and pepper, over low heat; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in broth. Pour sauce over chicken mixture. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
On a lightly floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the pastry to fit the top of the casserole. Place on top of pie; trim and seal the edges. Roll out trimmings. Cut out leaves and flowers. Brush pastry with glaze; add the decorations; brush again with glaze.
Bake until filling is bubbly and crust is browned, 25-30 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
