Homemade Chicken Pot Pie

Hello friends!  Today is St. Patrick's Day and while my corned beef and cabbage are making their way to greatness I have this recipe to share with you.

I grew up eating Banquet Chicken Pot Pies and I still love them in a pinch.  However, my homemade chicken pot pie just triggers my inner need for comfort and joy!

You can choose to use my recipe for homemade pie crust or use store bought.  I got a great deal on sme at the store and so expect lots of "pie" recipes!

This is easy, let's go!

You Will Need:

4 tbsp butter

1/4 cup flour

1/4 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried parsley

2 to 2 1/2 cups chicken stock

3/4 cup half and half

3 cups shredded or cubed chicken (cooked)

1 lg or 2 med potatoes, cooked and small diced

1 cup frozen peas and carrots

2 pie crust (make in advance if making your own and refrigerate 1 hr)

salt and pepper to taste

1 egg

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Melt butter in a large pot.  Sprinkle in flour and let it cook for about 3 minutes while stirring.  Add thyme and parsley.  Pour in chicken stock and half and half.  Add each slowly while whisking so you don't get any lumps.  Then the rest of the ingredients, chicken, potatoes and peas and carrots can go in.  You should have a thick gravy full of veg and chicken!  Set aside to cool

Place your first crust in a deep pie dish.  Add your filling after it has cooled considerably then lay the second crust over the top and pinch the top and bottom crusts together!  Flute them if you like.  This is the part of the video that is missing. Sorry.  Take an egg and splash of water and beat it together in a bowl.  Brush the top with it and edges and sprinkle a little thyme, salt and pepper on top

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes

ENJOY!
