Instructions:
Make the crust (optional): In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Blend in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. Slowly add ice water until the dough forms. Chill the dough and let it rest.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Make the filling: In a pot, melt the butter and sauté the onion, carrots, celery until soft. Add garlic, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Mix in the chicken, peas, corn, and flour. Stir in the broth and milk until thickened. Add parsley.
