Scarlett Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have a really good recipe that calls for 2 cans of cream of potato soup, but I'm trying to get away from using that sort of processed food. I found another one that said, 'classic chicken pot pie' and planned to try it but just now realized it doesn't call for potatoes at all. I have frozen peas and carrots and chicken broth and onions and celery and chicken of course... I know I can find one on line, but I love the tried and true results of the Hive. I will make my own crust. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 This one is soooo good. Chicken Pot Pie It doesn't have potatoes in the recipe but I add them sometimes. Just boil with the other vegetables. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Every time I make this recipe, it gets rave reviews. Slightly adapted from the Williams Sonoma Chicken cookbook. 1 cup carrots 1 cup peas 1 cup corn 2 tbs. butter 1 lb. chicken, cut into bite size pieces Chopped onion or shallot 2-3 tbs. flour 1 1/2 cup chicken stock 1/2 cup milk 1 tbs. chopped parsley (optional) Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the shallot/onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stirr well. Stir in the stock and the milk, and the parsley (if using), and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the carrots, peas, and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in prepared pie pan, and cover with pie dough. Cut a few slits in the center of the top with the tip of a knife. Bake at 400 for about 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom'sGirl Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The recipe is called Turkey Pot Pie but I use chicken all the time. http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=40880 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen in TX Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 1/2 c butter 1/2 c flour 1 or 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 2 c chicken broth 2 c cream (or milk) Melt butter. Sprinkle flour over butter and add spices. Cook over low heat for a minute, stirring. Add broth and cream. Heat to boil. Add 2 cups cooked chicken chunks, 6 cups chopped, boiled potatoes, and veggies (canned or thawed from frozen) of your choice. Place in 9 X 13 PAMMED casserole dish. Cover with pastry crust (homemade or store-bought). Bake at 425 degrees for 45 minutes or 350 degrees for 60 minutes. Cover pie crust with foil when browned. I like to add basil (fresh or dried) and celery flakes (if I don't have celery to add in with the veggies.) If you really like decadence, put pie crust in the bottom of the dish too. This can also be used to make chicken and dumplings - I usually add more liquid (1 to 2 cups more) to thin the sauce, and then place dumplings on top. Cook covered (no peeking) for 10-15 minutes, then uncovered for 10-15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Readsalot Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Even though this is a bit of work....it is so worth it. I often substitute chicken for the turkey. http://www.wchstv.com/gmarecipes/turkeypotpie.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonia Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, has a fabulous recipe on the Food Network webpage. I know you said you didn't want to go online, but it is soooo good you might want to try it sometime. My family just loves it (and I use pre-made crust.)
