Chicken Pot Pie

 

Grab your forks everybody, because you're going to love this hearty one-dish meal!*

Use fresh cooked chicken, not canned; your own baked, broiled, sauteed or poached chicken is best; to save time use a rotissiere chicken from the grocery store.

I make one recipe of "Never-Fail Pie Crust" for this pie, as it's sturdy enough to support a meat pie.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups cooked, diced chicken

2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, microwave-thawed

2 cans condensed cream of potato soup

1/2 cup milk

1/2 tsp. thyme

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 egg, slightly beaten (optional)

 

METHOD:

Combine first six ingredients in a bowl and spoon into prepared pie crust. Cover with top crust; crimp edges to seal. Slit top crust and brush with egg, if desired. Bake at 375 F for 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.

*This recipe is adapted from a VEG-ALL advertisement in Better Homes and Gardens magazine, published February, 1993. Because I couldn't possibly add canned veggies to my pot pie.
