well i just made a chicken pie this morning to put into a pie crust tonight, I boiled 1 onion chopped 1 carrot a handfull of peas ans some cup of pumpkin in 1 litre of water with 3 chicken stock cubes left to simmer once it had boiled for 45 mins then add 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken(you can boil it if you only have raw and debone) simmer for 10 more mins to heat all through and thicken with 3 tablespoons of cornflour and 1/4 cup of water mixed seperately and then add, add s&p to taste and then was cool chill, then add to a pie crust base top with camamebert cheese place topping on either pastry, mashed potato or potato pompoms and bake and serve with a mesculan green salad with a couple of tomato slices and a few slices of red pepper, sounds good enough to me

I just cook up some chicken, then make a white (roux) sauce, hen put the chicken in that, add some cranberry sauce and some cheese and chuck it in a pie crust.

I eat all of the above but leave out the pie crust - much easier :)
