Home-made chicken pot pie, anybody? A third less cost per serving than Marie Callenders with twice the delliciouness.
Cook a chicken, or if you are cheap, like me, get a rotissery chicken from Winn-Dixie. Cut in half and pull the meat off the bones.
Finely chop half a Vidalia onion;
Finely chop two carrots;
Finely chop two big celery stalks;
Saute all that in 2-3 tbs butter for about 3 mins. Add 1/4 cup flour and keep going for 1 more minute, stirring constantly;
Add 2-3 (less is better) cups chicken broth, saute till bubbling;
Add tarragon, parsley, thyme (whatever you want) and salt, pepper, turmeric;
Add 1/4 half-and-half and 1/4 cup white wine (if ya do this use 2 cups of chicken broth), let bubble for a sec;
Pour into a baking dish; has to be almost half as deep as wide. Too shallow, or too deep, and it will suck;
Now, you can make a crust if you want to but I get some pre-fabbed Winn_Dixie deep dish pie crusts, let one come to room temp, and lay it over the baking dish filled with goodness. Do the oven at 375 and cook for 25-30 minutes. Brown, crispy crust and thick, concentrated goodies.
Jimmy Buffet's sister has a resaturant and we sometimes trade recipes. One day one of her chefs said 'hey, caint ya do sumfin wif saifood in i?' so I did this whith oysters and clams instead of chicken, used artichoke hearts instead of celery, cut back of the added liquids 'cause of what was coming from the shellfish. Shut his mouf!
Ciao. JWE
