The recipes already posted sound great. I boil chicken in as little water as possible until done and remove chicken from broth to cool enough to handle. Remove meat from bone and using kitchen shears cut into bite size pieces. While the chicken is cooling and then as I'm cutting it up, I boil the broth to reduce it and concentrate the flavor. Add a little knorr powdered chicken boullion, black pepper, pinch of basil, and cornstarch to thicken. Also add one packet of chicken gravy to enhance the flavor if you like. Drain a can of mixed veggies and mix chicken in with gravy and veggies.
Put about 2 cups of plain flour in a bowl and add a pinch of salt and a spoon of sugar. Add to this a cup of shortnening blending into flour until mixed and crumbly. Add about a half a cup of very cold water, not from tap, but from fridge. Divide the dough in half and roll it out for your bottom crust and put in pie plate. Pour chicken mixture in and roll out remaining half for the top crust. Seal the edges, cut a few vents in the top and bake on 400 degees until golden brown. Allow to cool until you can touch it without getting burned before you cut and serve.

just add more cans of chicken broth.

i use a casserole dish with canned chicken, canned veggies, cans of cream of chicken or mushroom, can of broth to pour over top while baking it. lazy man's pie when just cooking for me in between shifts

In another bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, buttermilk, and margarine. Mix thoroughly to form batter. Pour broth mixture over chicken. Spoon batter over top.

I cook the chicken overnight in a crock pot and let it cool. easier to work with.
