Provided by Mandy Rivers | South Your Mouth

Categories     dinner, supper, main dish

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small chicken (2.5-3 lbs)
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced onion
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup half & half
2 refrigerated pie pastries

Steps:

  • Read recipe notes before beginning.
  • Add chicken to a large pot then add 4 cups water (it's OK if the chicken isn't submerged). Season per your preference, cover then cook over low heat for about 2 hours or until the legs and thighs are pulling apart from the chicken.
  • Remove chicken to cool then strain broth, reserving 2 cups. Save the remaining broth for another recipe.
  • Once cool enough to handle, remove skin and bones from chicken then cut into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Sauté carrots, celery and onion in butter over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper, thyme and flour then stir until very well combined. Continue cooking for 2 minutes.
  • Combine reserved 2 cups of broth with half & half then slowly pour over vegetables. Using a large whisk, stir and cook until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat then stir in chicken.
  • Roll out one pie pastry on a lightly floured surface until just large enough to line the bottom and slightly overhang the sides of a 1.5-quart deep dish pie pan or other round or oval baking dish. Pierce the bottom of the pastry 4-5 times with a fork.
  • Pour chicken mixture over bottom pastry.
  • Roll out remaining pastry just large enough to slightly overhang the top. Lay pastry over chicken mixture then folder over bottom pastry, pinching to seal.
  • Cut 3-5 slits in the top pastry to vent then bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Place a pie guard or aluminum foil ring over edges after about 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
  • Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

MAMA'S CHICKEN POT PIE



Mama's Chicken Pot Pie image

Love in a pie pan! Pot pies made regular appearances at our dinner table growing up. They were an easy way for Mama to use up leftovers. To me, they are the ultimate comfort food. You just can't beat flaky pastry, fresh veggies, rich gravy, and a great way to use up leftover meat! The recipe can be easily altered for beef roast, leftover turkey, or pork roast. Rotisserie chicken also works well in place of the chicken breasts.

2 - chicken breasts, diced (rotisserie chicken, leftover turkey,or pork/beef roast shredded)
2 - ribs celery, chopped
3-4 - carrots, sliced thin

1-2 tablespoon(s) olive oil

  • 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)
