Delicious Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 cup potato, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup carrot, diced
- 1/3 cup melted margarine
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 cups chicken, cooked and chopped
- 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
Directions:
- Preheat oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). - Cook the vegetables:
In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes in melted margarine over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften. - Add the flour:
Stir in the flour, cooking for one minute while stirring constantly. This forms the base for your thickened sauce. - Prepare the sauce:
In a separate bowl, combine the chicken broth and half-and-half. Gradually stir this mixture into the vegetable and flour mixture. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce becomes thick and bubbly. - Add the chicken and season:
Stir in the salt, pepper, and chopped cooked chicken. Mix well to combine all ingredients. - Assemble the pot pie:
Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a shallow 2-quart casserole dish. Top the filling with the pie crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and flaky.
Let the Chicken Pot Pie cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Enjoy this comforting, savory dish that is sure to become a family favorite!
