"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Oven: 400º ~ Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Combine flour, celery seeds and salt. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle cold water (1 T. at a time) over surface; stir with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape dough into two balls; chill. Saute chicken and onion in butter, 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and next 9 ingredients. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaf. Combine cornstarch and water, stirring until blended; add to chicken mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in soup, sour cream, and cheese. Roll half of pastry to 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Fit pastry into a deep 2 qt. casserole. Spoon chicken mixture into prepared pastry. Roll remaining pastry to 1/8-inch thickness; place over chicken mixture. Trim, seal, and flute edges. Re-roll pastry trimming; make chicken-shaped cutouts and dampen with water. Arrange on top of pastry. Cut slits in pastry. Combine egg yolk with milk; brush over pastry. Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown. Shield pastry with foil if necessary. This is a pretty dish to take to shut-ins or to cheer up friends.
