Chicken Pot Pie!

Now, chicken pot pies can be delicious or not so delicious.

Like the 0.69 pot pies you can buy...

they can be good, but you've gotta be in the mood.

This recipe coming up is so delicious,

and you don't even need to be in a certain mood!

Chicken Pot Pie

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped carrots

(I also put peas into mine.)

1/3 cup margarine

1/2 cup flour

3 cups chicken broth

1 cup half and half milk

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

3 to 3 1/2 cups shredded, cooked chicken

You'll also need some type of pastry.

I just used crescent rolls...easy and yummy!

Saute onion, celery, and carrots in butter for 10 minutes.

Add flour to sauteed mixture, stirring well.

Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Combine broth and milk and gradually stir into veggie mixture.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened & bubbly.

Stir in salt & pepper.

Add chicken and stir well.

Pour mixture into a greased 2 qt. shallow casserole dish...

(or use really cute little ramekins like I did!)

Top with pastry.

Cut slits in pastry.

Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown.

I split the recipe in half,

and it filled 5 ramekins. 

Even the leftovers were good!

I give this recipe both my thumbs up!
