Chicken Pot Chicken Pot Pie

Didn't know what to make for dinner so decided to use what I had on hand.

Home canned chicken & home canned veggies (corn, peas, celery & carrots) fresh potatoes, additional fresh carrots, onions. Sauteed all fresh veggies & then made a roux (1/3 c. flour) in the same pan (3/4 c. stock & 1 - 1.5 c. milk). Added chicken, canned & fresh veggies. Let cool to almost room temp.

Already had the pie crust in balls in the freezer which I took out to thaw earlier.

Rolled dough for bottom crust & then put in dish then added cooled filling.

Put top on & pinch just like my grandma used to do.

Bake for 1 hour & 30 minutes

Let cool for 30 minutes then enjoy!

That looks SO GOOD! ('Course, it's late afternoon right now and my lunch has long since been forgotten!) Is there a reason you let the filling cool before completing the pot pie?

DFW said...

Hey Mama Pea,

Thank you. I let cool to let the 'gravy' thicken a bit & it's the perfect temp to eat after that 30 min rest.

OOps, I meant the part where you said you rolled out the bottom crust and then "added cooled filling." I had never thought to cool the filling at that point and wondered if I was missing something.

It seems to help alleviate a soggy crust if it isn't too warm when I fill it.
