chicken pot pie.

i've been into the comfort foods lately. maybe it's the weather. if i can't have a fireplace on cold, blustery days, i might as well have some home cooking.

we made some killer chicken pot pie last weekend. (note rene's cute latte bowls from anthro!)


1 pound chicken breast cubed
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup frozen peas (or sliced green beans!)
1/2 cup celery
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 3/4 cup chicken broth
2/3 cup milk

pre-heat oven to 425°

in saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas and celery. add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. remove from heat, drain and set aside.

in saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. stir in flour, salt, pepper, broth and milk. simmer until thick.

place chicken veggie mixture in pie dough, then pour milk broth sauce over, cover with top crust, seal edges (ours weren't sealed. it was more...rustic.) cut slits in dough to allow steam to escape.

bake 30-35 minutes. cool for 10 minutes before serving.
