- **Prepare the Chicken Filling:** In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs cooked chicken (shredded), 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- **Assemble the Pie:** Pour the chicken filling into an 8x8 inch baking dish.

- **Cut in Shortening:** Cut in 1/2 cup cold shortening using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- **Add Water:** Gradually stir in 1/2 cup ice water, until the dough just comes together to form a ball. Do not overmix.
- **Knead Dough:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 20-25 times.
- **Roll Out Dough:** Roll or pat the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
- **Top the Pie:** Place the dough over the chicken filling in the baking dish.
- **Egg Wash (Optional):** Brush the top of the biscuit dough with 1 beaten egg for a golden brown finish.
- **Bake:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
