How do you make Chicken Pot Pie??!
Answers: I want a good recipe!! I can't find a good one!!
I make home made pie crust with flour water and real butter ... then I put in cooked chicken, mix of veggies I like and the KEY to the taste is Williams Country Gravy mix!
Makes all the difference in the world!
I used this recipe once, it was pretty tasty.
INGREDIENTS
* 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
*
* 2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
2. In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
3. In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

REAL CHICKEN POT PIE
chicken breasts, boneless
2 cups rice
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken & Herbs Soup
carrots and potatoes, in quantity desired
1/4 minced Vidalia onion (for flavoring)
1 can of corn, drained
1 can of peas, drained
1 or 2 clove garlic, minced
3 tubes Pillsbury's crescent rolls
Note: Any vegetables you prefer can be used in this recipe
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. (Use Lawry's seasoning salt). Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, then sear meat in hot olive oil in a skillet on both sides (just to lock in flavor - not to cook the meat).
Remove from stove top and place chicken on a broiling pan in a pre-heated oven for 1 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a tightly covered stew-pot of very low heat, cook the rice, stewing potatoes, carrots, peas, in a small amount of water, and adding more water as is needed. Stir often, but keep mostly covered so the vegetables can steam. When the vegetables are beginning to cook, stir in the two cans of soup, and the minced onion during the cooking.
If you want the sauce to thicken, simply cook a little while longer; to thin out add a small amount of water.
Remove chicken from oven and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes to allow all the meat to cool, then strip chicken meat from bones in bite sized pieces. Add the chicken to the vegetables and sauce.
Any kind of pre-made pie crust will work, but Crescent Rolls can be relied upon for a good result. Press the Crescent Rolls into a large, deep, casserole dish, making sure that no seams are present. Then pour or scoop filling into dish, filling in all pockets.
Cover with remaining Crescent Rolls, and bake at 350°F for approximately 11 to 15 minutes.

BEER CRACKER CHICKEN POT PIE
Shell:
2 cups finely crushed Club or Town House crackers
4 tablespoons melted butter
Crust:
2 cups flour
3/4 cup Crisco
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
Filling:
1-2 lbs chicken sliced 1" cubes
1 bag frozen mixed vegetables
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bottle beer or 12 oz white wine
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon Lipton Onion Soup mix
1 can condensed Cream of Potato soup
2/3 cup milk
1 tsp salt (optional)
Crust:
In a 4x9 dish, pour the melted butter into the casserole dish, sprinkle the cracker crumbs over the butter and mix well to saturate the crackers. Press down cracker mix to cover the bottom evenly. Place covered into fridge while preparing the chicken.
Chicken:
Add the olive oil to a frying pan with the poultry seasoning, garlic powder, basil, onion soup mix and stir until well saturated with oil. Add chicken and brown lightly. Add the beer, cream of potato soup and milk when chicken looks "golden brown". Add the frozen vegetables and turn down the heat to reduce the liquids for approximately 20 min. Remove from heat when liquids appear thickened. Allow to cool to warm to the touch.
Crust:
Add dry ingredients to hot water and milk. Cut Crisco into flour and milk mixture with knife or fork. Form into ball (minimize touching with hands). Divide ball in half. Roll out dough between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap to 1/8" thin.
Baking:
Remove the casserole dish from the fridge and add the chicken filling. Peel the plastic wrap off of one side of the crust, fold dough over the dish and remove the other sheet of plastic wrap. Pinch sides of dough into the inside edge of the dish with fingers. Use a knife to poke several vent holes in crust.
Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes until crust in golden brown over a cookie sheet.

Boston Market makes the best, get it at the Grocery store. Prepare it regular conventional oven instructions / not microwave, takes about an hour, very good.
