I'm attempting to make a chicken pot pie - suggestions?!
Answers:
Yummm! I make this pretty often!. Ina Gaarten, The Barefoot Contessa has a good recipe!. Mostly, I just wing it!.
Make the gravey from chicken stock or chicken broth!. Use a baking pan!. I don't know how big your dish is so it's hard to give you ratios for the gravy!.
Try melting two tablespoons of butter, stirring in two tablespoons of flour and then adding 2 cups of chicken broth or stock!. Salt & pepper!. Pour as much of this gravy mixture as you need into the chicken, veggie baking pan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I usually use a pie crust for a chicken pot pot - but cream of chicken
soup is a really good gravy for this pie!.

1 can cream of potato soup

1 or 2 large chicken breast cut into chunks
salt and pepper to taste
2 9-inch deep dish unbaked pie crust
Saute chicken in 2 tablespoons olive oil for about 3 minute until light brown, add chicken to the first 4 ingredients!.
Mix together and pour into pie crust!. Put top crust on pie, cut 4 slits in the crust!. Brush with beaten egg wash!.
Bake on a cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 45 min

When I make chicken pot pie the easiest things is just to use cream of chicken!. Once the veggies and chicken are cooked mix in the cream of chicken and add whatever spices you would like!. I like to cook it in a pie pan but it doens't really matter!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm sorry, but I do not have any suggestions for making the gravy!. I wil say, however, that you should not make the mistake of having too much of one ingredient in your pie!. Don't put too much veggies or chicken or anything!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
