THE BEST CHICKEN POT PIE EVER!

THE BEST CHICKEN POT PIE EVER!

INGREDIENTS:

2 lb chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 c chicken broth (enough to cover breasts)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 c half and half
3 Tbsp butter (yes, 3 tablespoons!)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 c celery, chopped
1/3 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c frozen mixed vegetables, thawed (i use green beans, corn, carrots and peas)
2 medium potatoes, cooked and cubed (or 1 can small white potatoes, cubed)
1 Tbsp parsley, freshly chopped
1/2 tsp thyme, dried
2 pie pastry (for double crust pie)
1 egg, lightly beaten

DIRECTIONS:

1-In a large saucepan over medium high heat, combine the chicken breasts, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.

2-Remove the chicken and let cool. Pour the remaining chicken broth mixture into a measuring cup. Let stand; spoon off fat. Add enough canned broth to equal 1 cup if needed. Add half and half to the broth mixture to equal 2 1/2 cups. Cut chicken into 1/2 inch pieces.

3-In the same pan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add the onion and celery. Saute, stirring, for 3 minutes. Stir in flour until well blended. Gradually stir in broth mixture and the herbs. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and boils. (you will think this is TOO MUCH liquid, but it’s not). Add the chicken and vegetables to the broth and stir to combine. Line a deep pie dish with one of the pastries and pour mixture in, almost to the top.
