Chicken Pot Pie Recipe - Recipes - Page 3 - City-Data Forum

I make mine southern pot-luck style:

- Several chicken breasts (About 3 pounds) cooked/stewed in chicken broth until tender.

- Shred the cooked chicken and place into a casserole dish.

- Mix together 1 can cream of chicken, and 1 can cream of mushroom with 2 cups of the chicken broth from the cooked chicken.

- Stir together 1 stick melted and cooled butter, 1 cup of buttermilk (not non-fat), and 1 cup of self rising flour. HAS TO BE SELF RISING.

- Pour the flour mixture over the top of the chicken.

Cook at 425 degrees for about 45 minutes. For a crispier top, put under the broiler on low, but VERY briefly.

This is the only recipe that I do using canned soup. Normally I hate using it. You can add some mixed veggies to the cooked chicken before pouring on the broth and cooking, but why bother - this isn't meant to be healthy anyway!

We eat it sprinkled with a lot of cracked pepper.

For a more precise version, Trisha Yearwood has one on the Food Network.

I use premade pie crusts, whatever Walmart has in stock, either their brand or the brand.

I've never made it with fresh chicken, I make pot pies using leftover chicken. I save it in the freezer until I have 4 to 6 cups. I'm making two pies.

The sauce is margarine, flour, milk and chicken stock. I cook sweet onion in the margarine, then add the flour, milk and chicken stock.

I always let my sauce simmer with the chicken and mixed veggies for a good hour, then fill the shells, cook about 40 minutes.

My recipe calls for peas and carrots, we like the mixed veggies better. I add pearl onion some days.

Even better, just buy Marie Callendar Chicken Pot Pie. It think they’re delicious.

I agree. I always keep one or two of those in the freezer and they are always very good when I don't feel like cooking anything.

Yup, there is no comparison especially if you like crust. It can make or break any pie.

I watch Shareen, and her recipe used equal parts of butter and crisco...wow, did it ever get good...don't believe I'll make it any other way. Kids are coming over for dinner Thurs night, so I'm going to make apple pie in a cast iron skillet....should be interesting.
