I can't find my recipe for my grandmothers home-made pie crustBut I have the pot pie recipe.
![]()
I've made this quite a few different ways and they are all good!
Keep in mind you can add more or less veggies (and other varieties) depending on your personal likes. You can also use turkey of beef instead of chicken.
I personally cook a whole chicken in the oven and use the broth from that, I think it tastes a lot better.
Sometimes I add a dash of crushed garlic or garlic powder too.
Sometimes if I don't have a cream of soup or white sauce I use the broth kfamr listed, broth/bullion & milk or what pj's mom said half & half is tasty too! I've even used canned gravy. Then of course leave out the 1cup broth otherwise it will be too watery, just use 2 cups of the base that you decide on.
1 chopped onion
half cup chopped celery
2 tsp salt & pepper (or to taste)
1 cup white sauce or cream of mushroom soup (can substitute with crem of broccoli, or whatever other cream of soup that suits your tastes)
half cup sliced carrots
4 tbsp green peas
3 cups cooked chopped chicken
1 cup chicken broth
Then of course your pie crust.
Cook all veggies with 2 tbsp butter in skillet until tender
add 1 cup broth (or 1 cup of the base you decide to use) and heat until well mixed and warm (sometimes I add both cups of base or the cream of soup & broth to the skillet to warm)
lay crust in pie pan
Add mixture on top of pie crust
top with 1 cup of white sauce or cream of soup (already slightly heated) or the remaining 1 cup of your base (unless of course you mix everything in the skillet first then you just add it all on top of the crust)
cover top with pie crust or thin biscuits
bake at 425 for approx 20 minutes, until light brown
(sometimes I brush an egg white or melted butter to the top of the crust)
