A great way to use leftover chicken and vegetables at the end of the week-don't recook the items, just dump them in the crust! Ingredients:
2 pie crusts, 9 inch |
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed |
1 cup sliced carrots |
1 cup frozen green peas |
1/2 cup sliced celery |
1/3 cup butter |
1/3 cup chopped onion |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon celery seed |
1 3/4 cups chicken broth |
2/3 cup milk |
1 egg white (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
2. Dock one of the pie crusts with a fork and pre-bake for 5 minutes.
3. In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
5. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed to form a roux.
6. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk, and simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
7. Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over.
8. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Brush with egg white (optional).
9. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
11. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
