Chicken Pie For Three Recipes

CHICKEN PIE FOR THREE

Steps:

• First make the pie crust: Sift together flour and salt, then cut in shortening until evenly blended.
• Sprinkle in ice water, mixing with a fork until dough is moistened.
• Form into a ball, wrap with plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Turn a 1 1/2 quart round deep baking dish upside down on a piece of wax paper and trace the outline with a marker (You will use this as an outline later).
• For the filling: cook the carrots, celery, onion, and potato in water in a saucepan until tender- about 13 minutes.
• Drain, then stir in remaining ingredients- you may add any other herbs here to your taste.
• Spray the 1 1/2 quart baking dish with olive oil, then pour in the chicken mixture.
• Flatten your dough ball a bit, then place between two sheets of wax paper- one with your tracing of the dish on it.
• With a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a flat circle just a bit larger than your tracing (Be sure to use strokes in every direction, so that you have an even circle).
• If the wax paper is sliding around, put a few drops of water underneath the bottom one to stick it to the counter.
• When you have the right size, carefully peel off the top sheet of paper, and trim the dough to make a neat circle.
• Pick up the pie crust on the bottom piece of wax paper, and center it on top of your chicken mixture.
• Slowly peel off the paper.
• Press the crust gently down against the filling around the sides, then use your fingers or a fork to seal the edges to the sides of the dish.
• If you have extra dough from trimming, roll out and cut into a shape to decorate the top of your pie!
• Cut slits in the crust to vent.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

EASY CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a bowl combine the mixed vegetables, chicken, cream of chicken soup and milk. Pour mixture into one of the pie crusts. Turn the other crust over and pop out of the tin onto the top of the filled pie. Seal the edges and poke holes in top crust.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

CHICKEN POT PIE IX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
• In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
• In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
