When I think of comfort food, a good chicken pot pie is near the top of my list. Perfect for a cold day when you want to just curl up with a bowl of warm goodness. This recipe happens to be one of my husband's favorites, so I definitely keep it in consistent rotation. Some of you may want to make your pie crusts from scratch, and I commend you! My mother-in-law has perfected her pie crust and I'm thankful my husband doesn't hold my store-bought crust against me.
Ingredients:
2 Chicken breasts, cooked and diced. (You could also use rotisserie chicken!)
1 yellow onion, diced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
1 15oz can chicken broth
1/4 cup milk
2 cups frozen peas & carrots mixture
1 package pie crusts
garlic salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Melt butter in large, deep skillet. Add onions and celery and sauté until tender.
Add flour and slowly stir in chicken broth until blended, then slowly stir in milk. Mixture will thicken.
Season to taste with garlic salt and pepper.
Stir in chicken and peas & carrots and let simmer until heated through.
Put one pie crust into pie pan and pour in chicken mixture.
Top with other pie crust and pinch sides together all around pie plate.
Bake at 425 for 30-35 minutes, depending on your oven.
Let cool ~15 minutes and serve!
