When cool, chop into bite size pieces. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon margarine in the same skillet or saucepan. Add the onion, celery and carrots. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the green beans, peas and chopped chicken. In a medium bowl, mix together the gravy, sour cream and flour. Stir into the chicken mixture in the skillet or saucepan. Scrape the filling into the prepared pie crust.  Carefully fit the top crust over the filling. Cut 3 to 5 slits in the top crust for ventilation.Bake until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
