1/2 lb chicken meat (diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
1/2 cup carrots (diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
1/2 cup green peas
1/2 cup mixed vegetables (your preference of type or just add more carrot or peas)
1 large potato (peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
2 tablespoons cornstarch (or to desired texture)
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
2 chicken bouillon cubes (or 1 can chicken stock)
3 cups water (or to desired texture)
Crust
3 cups flour
2/3 cup vegetable shortening (cold)
1/2 cup butter (cold)
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 onion
4 ice cubes
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1/4 cup whole milk
6 servings
1 hour 30 mins prep
Filling:.
Mix water, bouillion cubes, salt, and potato in a sauce pan and boil over medium heat until the potatoes just start to soften.
Add vegetables to the pan and boil an additional 5 minutes or so, then reduce heat to simmer and very gradually stir in corn starch. Gauge starch until mixture has a medium gravy texture or as you would desire for pie filling.
Finally, add meat and simmer without stirring while you make the crust. Either add water or corn starch to adjust texture if necessary.
Crust:.
In a large mixing bowl, blend flour, salt, and garlic/onion (if used). Dice vegetable shortening and butter to small pieces and distribute evenly in flour. Either cut in or with an electric mixer, mix shortening and butter into flour to obtain a flaky granular mixture.
With a large spoon, break ice cubes in your hand and distribute the chips throughout the flour mixture. Blend ice in until fully incorporated and melted into the flour.
Split the mixture into 2 sections sufficient to make a crust and covering. Flour a flat surface and roll sections with a floured rolling pin until good size for pie pan and cover. For a nice touch, slice the cover section into 1" strips to make a weave or criss-cross patterned top.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Lightly grease a pie tin (or dish) and form the pie crust into the tin, leaving loose edges all the way around the tin. Rub the olive oil inside the entire crust as it sits in the tin.
Recheck the consistency of the filling and adjust as necessary. Pour the filling into the pie crust, leaving enough room to add the covering.
Lay a full covering (or weave strips) of crust across the top of the pie. Pinch the edges where the upper and lower crust meet to form a seal all the way around the pie. Once sealed, trim excess crust to edge of pie tin. Knife holes into the crust cover to relieve pressure during cooking.
Brush milk thoroughlly and generously across entire upper crust of pie, then place in oven. Cook for about 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

I would keep it simple and use only those vegetables that go well with chicken (e.g sweetcorn, onion, carrot, zucchini, mushrooms). Cut chicken into cubes and `brown' in a frying pan using butter and a oil - do not cook for too long just till brown on two sides, then fry onions until soft. Put chicken and onions aside then using same pan make a chicken stock using stock cube/water add some herbs (thyme and rosemary are best). Thicken stock with a gravy mix or corn flour -if you use the latter add seasoning of salt and pepper. Put onions and veg in the thickened stock and cook for 10 mins (taste it should be good and rich in flavour if not add more seasoning). Put chicken into pie dish, pore over stock and veg to fill dish. Put Pie crust on top and pinch around the top of pie dish to seal. Make vent hole in centre of pie crust with a fork then brush with egg or milk. Bake in the oven for 35-40 mins at a moderately high heat 180-200 degrees C.

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. And so as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.
