Hi Tammy,
Here is the recipe I use, it tastes wonderful.
Chicken Potpie
3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 recipe for homemade pie crust ( I use a wonderful no fail butter recipe that is wonderful for chicken pot pie or fruit pies )
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 small celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 cup homemade chicken broth
1/2 cup cream or milk
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and ground pepper
cubed cooked potatoes ( I use a couple )
1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots, not thawed ( you can use any veggies you like I use green beans at time )
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place pie crust on bottom of pie pan.
2. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and celery; saute until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl along with the cooked chicken; set aside.
3. Meanwhile, heat chicken broth and milk in a saucepan until steamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Heat butter over medium heat in the empty dutch oven. When foaming subsides, whisk in flour and thyme; cook until golden, about 1 minute. Whisk in hot milk mixture. Bring to simmer, then continue to simmer until sauce fully thickens, about 1 minute. Turn off heat, , and season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Stir chicken mixture, potatoes, and frozen vegetables into the sauce. Pour into prepared pie crust. Top with remaining pie dough, and flute crust by pinching with your fingers. Set on a baking sheet and bake until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 45 mintues. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
If you need a good pie crust recipe let me know.
This is the very best and tastes like Costco chicken pot pie they use to have. I do have a version for a 9x13 also.
If you try it let me know what you think.
Blessings,
Angel
