Homemade Chicken Pot Pie

So tonight I made homemade chicken pot pie. . .it's really easy and simply delicious!!

You can find the original recipe here :)

 

 You will need about 4 cups of chopped veggies.  The recipe calls for potatoes, onions, carrots, and celery.

You will want to saute them in a pan with about 1/3 cup of butter until they start to become crisp tender.

 Once you have done this, you need to coat them with the 1/2 cup flour and cook for about a minute or so.  Then you will add your broth/cream mixture to that.

Allow the mixture to cook until it becomes thickened and bubbly.  It should coat the back of a spoon when its thick enough!!

At this point you can take it off the heat and add in your chicken and salt/pepper.  Today I also threw in some peas for good measure! :)

After the filling is all set to go, its time for the crust.  I use store bought stuff. . .in pot pie it is PERFECTLY delish.  I also take one of the rounds and roll it out a little bit thinner than it comes so it will cover the bottom and sides of my baking dish easier.

Then I pour in my filling and throw the top on.  I usually try and smush together the sides and the top to keep it from leaking out and making a mess!!

 

 

Now you will want to bake it at 400 degrees for 45-50 minutes.  It should come out looking like this. . .

From here you will just allow it to sit for awhile so it does not scald your mouth and then scoop some out and enjoy!

 

Happy Wednesday!!
