Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • pinch of turmeric
  • pinch of poultry seasoning
  • pinch of dried thyme
  • half an onion, diced
  • a carrot, diced
  • a potato, diced
  • a stalk of celery, diced
  • 2-3 cups chicken, cooked - diced or shredded
  • pie crust of choice (I used a ready made crust for this one, but it is really really good with a bacon fat pie crust.)
  • couple tablespoons of butter for sauteing the veg in
  • salt & pepper
  • You can also add frozen corn and peas to it!

As far as a container to bake the pie in, you'll want a nice deep ceramic or glass pie plate, like this one.

Directions

  • Add a couple tablespoons of butter to a pan over medium heat.
  • Add in the carrot, celery, onion and potatoes. Cook, stirring frequently, for about five minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  • Add in the chicken, minced garlic, and seasonings. (Please note I added waaaaaay to much turmeric on accident. When I say a pinch I mean a teeny amount - more more than 1/4 teaspoon) Stir around and cook for another couple minutes.
  • Also - preheat your oven to 375 F!
  • Pour in a half cup of flour and stir it around so it coats everything. Let this cook for a couple minutes - stir it the entire time!
  • Now pour in your stock and stir really well. Break up any flour clumps you see and let the mixture come up to a bubble. This will help thicken it.
  • At this point, taste the sauce and add some extra seasoning or salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Turn off the heat. Spoon into pie plate. Cover with crust. Cut steam vents in crust.
  • Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes underneath a baking sheet to catch the drippings.
