Traditional Pot Pie recipe


This is a recipe for a traditional style pot pie. I have made this recipe big enough to make two 9" pies at once. One for dinner, and one to freeze for a lazy day. 



Picture not of my pie, I do not have a professional camera, posted to give you an Idea on what your pie can look like. 


Ingredients:

6 oz      Frozen corn
5 oz      Frozen peas
5 oz      Frozen Green beans
4 oz      Fresh Mushrooms
1/4 c     Finely Diced onions
2 C       Diced potatoes
4-5 C    Diced Chicken breast Cooked and sprinkled with Garlic pepper.
2           9" pastry doughs


Sauce Ingredients:

1/2 C    Butter
1/2 C    All-purpose Flour
1 tsp     Basil
1 tsp     Thyme
32 oz    Chicken Broth
4           Chicken Bullion cubes w/ herbs


Direction: Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl, divide between two 9” pie dishes.  In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, Basil, & thyme until smooth. Gradually add broth and bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Divide and Pour over vegetable mixtures.


Roll out pastry to fit top of dish. Place over filling; trim and flute edges. Cut slits in top. Bake at 450° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6-8 servings. Per pie

How to cook frozen pie: Preheat oven to 375 Cover edge of crust with tin foil to prevent over browning (may cover whole pie if desired). cook for 60-70 min until center is fully heated (160 degrees)
