Mamas Super Easy Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

SUPER-EASY CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Lay the bottom crust in a deep-dish pie plate and press in lightly. Arrange the vegetables and chicken in the crust and cover with the condensed soup. (For a thinner gravy, mix a little milk or water into the soup before adding it to the pie.) Cover with the top crust and seal the edges. Cut a couple of vents in the top crust and bake as if for a two-crust pie (such as an apple pie) until golden brown and bubbly.
• Note: if your top and bottom crusts aren't sealed tightly enough, the gravy may drip over the side and burn on the bottom of the oven. Put some foil or a cookie sheet underneath the pie plate to prevent this.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375*.
• 2. In a medium size pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for 5-8 minutes, until onions begin to turn translucent.
• 3. While your vegetables are cooking, prepare 2-crust pie dough. (see first comment below for a link to my crust recipe) Roll out half, and place in a deep dish pie plate.
• 4. Add chicken to vegetables. Season with sage or thyme and pepper (don't add salt yet). Cook until chicken is no longer pink. (If using pre-cooked meat, cooking the meat again is not necessary)
• 5. Add chicken stock to vegetable/chicken mixture and bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch with 4-6 tablespoons of cold water and mix into boiling mixture. Return to boil and thicken to desired gravy consistency. Taste and add salt as needed.
• 6. Pour hot mixture into crust-lined pie plate.
• 7. Roll out top crust and place over mixture. Trim crusts, roll under, and crimp edges. Make 4-6 slits in top, place in oven and bake, 35-45 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
