Chicken Pie. Make a fricassee, as above directed, either brown or white, as best liked, and a nice pie-crust, as on p. 224, or a biscuit-crust if pie-crust is considered too rich. Line a deep baking-dish with the crust ; a good way being to use a plain biscuit-crust for the lining, and pie-crust for the lid. Lay in the cooked chicken ; fill up with the gravy, and cover with pastry, cutting a round hole in the centre
