I found this recipe on the internet and did a little tweaking to make it just right. For ease of preparation and to save time I use Pillsbury's ready-made pie crusts. Also, feel free to substitute dark meat. DH likes boneless skinless thighs so I use that more than breasts. I just make sure to remove the fat before baking. Also, if you are not a fan of Tarragon don't put it. This is so versatile you can use seasonings of your choice. Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, seasoned to taste |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced very thin |
4 small red potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
2 stalks celery, diced |
10 large button mushrooms, sliced thin |
9 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 large yellow onion, diced |
1 cup frozen green pea |
5 tablespoons flour |
1 1/4 cups chicken broth |
1/4 cup dry white wine |
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon white pepper |
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic |
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon water |
