Mix the arrowroot powder (or corn starch) and water together. Bring the broth to a boil in a large pot. Stir arrowroot powder and water mixture into the broth (make sure the arrowroot is dissolved).

Stir cooked chicken into the broth mixture. Pour into a 13 x 9 casserole dish. Place crust on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 –30 minutes or until top is golden brown.
