Filling Ingredients

¼ cup butter
1 small yellow onion chopped small, about 1 cup
⅔ cup celery sliced very thin, about 3 ribs
1 cup carrots diced small, about 3 carrots
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1½ cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon celery seed
4 cups cooked chicken diced into ½-inch pieces
12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables about 2½ cups

Topping Ingredients

1 count canned crescent rolls approximately 8 ounces
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter and set aside.
In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and celery and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in flour. Slowly stir in chicken broth and whisk to combine.
Add the milk and salt, pepper, garlic, and celery seed. Reduce heat and simmer over medium-low heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and vegetables. Stir to mix throughout. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles; press perforations to seal. Place rectangles over chicken mixture; pinch center edges to seal. Press the outside edges of the dough to the edges of the baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
