Chicken Pot Pie



Here it is.  The recipe I've perfected over the last year.  We usually eat the whole pan in less than two days.  However, I recommend doubling it for a 9x13 pan.  I use a 9" pie plate for just the two of us.

Chicken Pot Pie
5 T. canola oil
1/2 cup of flour
3/4 cup of milk
1 can of chicken broth
2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, green beans, peas, and corn is what I use)
1/2 lb-1 lb of diced raw chicken (the amount you use depends on how chicken-y you like it)
1 t. each of salt and pepper
1 t. of poultry seasoning
1 sheet of pie pastry

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.  Cook in a deep skillet in some olive oil.  Once cooked, remove chicken to a plate.  Add the canola oil to the pan and wait for it to heat.  Then add the flour and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes.  Whisk in the milk and chicken broth and let thicken.  Once it's thick, add the frozen vegetables and chicken.  Stir well.

Pour into a 9" pie pan and cover with pie pastry.  Slit the top and crimp the edges.

Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.

  1. Wow! This is almost identical to my version that I posted last fall. Great minds think alike I guess. :) This is real comfort food for everyone I think!
