Today's MaNIc MoNDaY is from a post that I did back in October 2007. I don't follow are recipe for this anymore, but it's a family favorite. Sometimes I change the veggies up a bit, sometimes I use grilled chicken, roasted chicken, poached chicken. Sometimes I add different herbs, thyme, sage, oregano, rosemary, etc...
It's one of those meals I plan ahead for. Grilling chicken? Grill extra. Making soup? Throw in chicken breasts to poach. Roasting a bird? Save the bones for stock and some meat for pot pie. So easy, so yummy.
Here's the original post on Give Peas A Chance. Recipe is below also.
Give Peas A Chance Chicken Pot Pie
2-3 Chicken breasts - cooked and shredded or cubed5 TBS butter
4 TBS all purpose flour
1 Minced garlic clove
1 Small onion diced
~ 2 cups Frozen peas, carrots, green beans, etc
1 and 1/2 cup Chicken broth
3/4 cup Heavy cream or milk
Sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Poultry seasoning, or sage, thyme, rosemary, etc
Fresh chopped parsley (optional)
1 Package of roll out Pillsbury pie crust
1 Egg
- Preheat oven to 375
- Take the pie crusts out of the fridge so they come to room temperature. Or make some crust.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of butter in a medium sauce pan and sweat the onion along with the garlic.
- Once the onions are soft add the butter and heat until foaming, add the flour to make a roux.
- Season with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Cook until lightly browned.
- Add chicken broth and a bit of heavy cream, stir so there are no lumps.
- Add the frozen vegetables, parsley and chicken with reserved juices and stir.
- Heat the mixture until thick, add more broth/milk/water as needed.
- Season filling to taste.
- While the filling is thickening lined to deep dish pie plate with a pie crust and beat an egg in a small bowl and set aside.
- Ladle filing into the pie crust, top with second crust, flute ends and make slits on top of the pie to vent.
- Brush with the egg wash.
- Bake for 15 mins at 375, then turn the oven down to 350, put a pie crust shield on the pie and bake for another 30 minutes.
- If you don't have a pie shield you can use foil around the edges of the pie.
