HOMEMADE CHICKEN POT PIE WITH HERBED GRAVY
HOLD the cans of soup please! Trust me, you won't want to make chicken pot pie with canned soup again after trying this recipe. It's quick and simple enough for me to make on a weeknight and my family absolutely devours it. I use some fat free ingredients, but you'd never know from the taste. We love the carrots and broccoli, but you can change up the veggies a bit - I like to keep them fresh, but canned peas work well in place of the broccoli. Save time by using leftover chicken too. Hope you enjoy!

- To serve: cut roast in slices; serve with hot cooked rice and Tomato Gravy.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and sage, will give your gravy a more robust flavor than dried herbs. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount specified in the recipe.
- Roast your bones and vegetables: Roasting the bones and vegetables before making the gravy will add a deep, rich flavor. Be sure to roast the bones until they are browned and the vegetables are caramelized.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your gravy. Use a homemade stock if you can, or use a good quality store-bought stock. Avoid using water, as this will result in a bland gravy.
- Don't boil the gravy: Bring the gravy to a simmer and then let it cook gently over low heat. Boiling the gravy will cause it to lose flavor and become thin and watery.
- Season to taste: Taste the gravy as you are making it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Conclusion:
Herbed gravy is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. It is especially popular during the holiday season, but it can be enjoyed all year round. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious herbed gravy that will impress your family and friends.
