Chicken Pot Pie
I made this for my freezer meal group.
Makes one pie
2 cup cooked and chopped chicken
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed veggies ( I used peas, carrots, corn and green beans)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
double pie crust
Combine chicken and veggies in a bowl; set aside. In a sauce pan melt butter and saute onion until clear. Whisk in flour and cook till bubbly. Whisk in broth and milk. Bring to a boil. Reduce and simmer until thickened. (mine never did thicken all that much until I let it cool, I think because I made it in batches of 5) Stir in seasonings. Pour over chicken veggie mixture and stir to combine. If freezing cool completely. Line pie plate with bottom crust. Pour in filling. Position top crust and crimp edges.
If baking now- vent top and brush with milk. Bake at 375 for one hour or until crust is browned and filling bubbles.
If freezing- wrap with foil label and freeze. To serve- Do not defrost. Vent top and brush with milk. Bake at 450 for 15 min and then reduce heat and bake at 375 until crust is browned and filling bubbles, about an hour or more.
*also good with cooked turkey instead of chicken.
