A first for me...

homemade chicken pot pie

Another great use for rotisserie chicken.

 

 

Chicken Pot Pie

4 T. butter

1/2 c diced onion

3 carrots

3 small potatoes

handful of frozen peas

1 stalk celery

garlic

chicken

1/4 c flour

1 can chicken broth

salt and pepper

thyme to taste

1/4 c half and half or cream

unbaked pie crust or store bought puff pastry

 

Melt butter and add onion, carrots, potatoes, celery and garlic.

Cook until onions turn translucent.

Stir in the chicken and then sprinkle the flour over top all and stir it until it's all combined.

Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth. Let this cook and thicken.

Add thyme, salt and pepper.

Add half and half or cream, then stir and let it bubble up and keep thickening.

Pour filling into pie crust or if using puff pastry pour into deep dish pie pan

 and top with crust or puff pastry.

Bake for 30 minutes in 375 degree oven or until top is golden brown.

 

 

 

I am adding thyme to my herb garden this summer...
