Cooking Steps
  1. Step 1: Prep Chicken - Boil 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts in salted water for 12-15 minutes until fully cooked. Shred and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Make Filling - Melt 1/3 cup unsalted butter in a medium saucepan, add onion and celery, sauté for 4-5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, then mix in garlic powder, celery seed, and salt.
  3. Step 3: Create Sauce - Gradually add reserved cooking liquid and whole milk, stir until thickened (3-4 minutes). Fold in shredded chicken and frozen vegetables, mix well, and cool for 15-20 minutes.
