  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

  7. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into the crust-lined cast iron.
  8. Top with the second crust and flute or pinch the edges together. Cut slits in several places before baking. I also recommend a lattice crust.

  11. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
