Cook off one of the pie crusts in a 9-inch deep dish pie plate at 450°F until it just turns brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

Dice the chicken into ¼" pieces. Roll in flour. Place 1 Tablespoon butter and 1 Tablespoon olive oil in 4 quart pot. Cook the chicken off until just done. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

In the same pot, add all of the diced up vegetables and the thyme and the sage. Add 1 Tablespoon butter. Cook through. Add the chicken stock and the Madera. Bring to a boil. Add the cream. Bring to a slow boil and cook for 10 minutes.

Add the cooked chicken. Bring to a slow simmer. Check for thickness of the sauce. If not thick enough add a little more flour.

When the potatoes are cooked almost through, pour mixture into the pie shell. Break 1 Tablespoon butter into pieces and dot the top of the mixture. Place the top pie crust on top and seal along the edges. Puncture with a fork so steam will escape during cooking.
