Divide the ball into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Flatten both into disks, wrap in film wrap and refrigerate a minimum of 2 hours or overnight. Roll the larger disk to make the bottom crust and the smaller disk for the top crust.

Add flour and stir to combine. Cook flour for several minutes. Add stock and cooked chicken and stir. Bring to simmer and cook, stirring often until very thick. Season with parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Remove from heat and chill for 2 hours.
