Chicken Pie     



Chicken Pie       
 1  4 pound ready to cook stewing chicken 
4 cups  water 
1 cup  chopped onion 
1  rutabaga, peeled and cut in chunks 
½ cup  sliced celery 
½ teaspoon  ground sage 
1/3 cup  all purpose flour 
1  beaten egg

 In a Dutch oven, combine chicken, water, onion, 1 tablespoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until chicken is tender, about 1½ hours. Remove chicken and cool. Remove meat from bones, discard skin. Cut up meat and set aside. Skim fat from broth; remove ½ cup of broth and set aside. Measure 3¼ cups of the remaining broth; return to Dutch oven. Add rutabaga, celery and sage. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the lattice crust. Blend the reserved ½ cup of broth slowly into flour and stir into vegetable mixture. Cook and stir until thickened. Add chicken and heat through. Transfer mixture into 2 quart casserole. Place 5 pastry strips atop hot mixture. Place 5 more strips atop at right angles. Trim to fit (or weave a lattice on waxed paper and flip on top of pie.) Place remaining 3 strips around edge of casserole and trim to fit. Seal and flute edges. Brush with egg. Place pie on baking sheet on oven rack. Bake at 375 degrees F until the crust is browned, 35 to 40 minutes. 
Lattice Crust... 1¼ cup all purpose flour ¾ teaspoon salt 1/3 cup of lard 1 beaten egg 2 tablespoons cold water.  Mix flour and salt; cut in lard until pieces are the size of small peas. Combine egg and cold water; sprinkle over flour mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time. Gently toss with fork. Repeat until all is moistened. Form into a ball. Roll on a lightly floured surface to a 10 x 9 ¾ inch rectangle. Cut into 13 10 x ¾ inch strips.
