Maine Chicken Pie

Place chicken in large kettle and add next six ingredients, using 1/2 tsp monosodium glutamate, and 1 tsp salt. Simmer, covered, until tender, 3 to 3-1/2 hours.

Remove bird to rack. Strip meat from bones, removing in large pieces. Refrigerate when cool.

Combine flour, onion salt, celery salt, pepper, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp monosodium glutamate with 1/2 c chicken broth. Mix until smooth.

Heat 3 cups chicken broth to boiling. Add flour mixture, beating with a wire whip to prevent lumping.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth and thickened. Add food coloring if desired.

Add chicken and blend well.

Line 9" deep-dish pie pan with pastry. Fill with chicken mixture. Cover with pastry. Seal well and flute edges.

Make several slits for steam to escape around edge of top crust.
