So today I feel compelled to share this recipe! My husband has requested it 2 times this week :) It should be more of a treat or comfort food..but I think the weather we have been having is also to blame for the desire! The original recipe came from the great Pioneer Woman, but I changed up just a few things to make it more my speed :) BUT all the credit goes to her, for with out her recipe I could not have made it my own! Thanks PW! You can serve this all by it's fabulous self, or on a plate along side a fresh salad. A buttery Chardonnay would pair well, but milk or tea would be just fine! Make this right away for you and someone you love! Enjoy!
Ingredients: 3 celery stalks, 3 medium carrots; peeled, 1 large onion, 4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick), 1/2 cup frozen peas, 1 pre-baked chicken from store (2 cups cooked chicken) chopped into bite size pieces, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 cups low sodium chicken broth, 1 chicken bouillon cube, 1/4 cup white wine (optional), 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon ground thyme, 1 teaspoon salt; or more to taste, black pepper to taste, 1 box Pillsbury Pie Crust (comes with 2)
- Preheat oven to 400*F
- Dice up the celery, carrots and onion. Go pretty small, but not too small.
- Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add the onion , carrots, celery and peas. Saute until the veggies start to turn translucent..just a few minutes.
- Add the chicken and stir to combine. Sprinkle the flour evenly over veggies and chicken and stir to combine. Cook a couple minutes stirring gently!
- Pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly. Stir in the bouillon cube and wine. This will make a scrumptious gravy!
- Drink some wine, if you like that stuff ;)
- Pour in the cream and stir. Allow the mix to cook over medium heat, about 5 minutes, so it can thicken. Perfect time to drink more wine! Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat. Taste and make sure you are seasoned to your liking.
- Pour the chicken mixture into a deep pie pan or small casserole dish. You can also use two regular size pie plates.
- Roll a Pillsbury pie crust over the top of the pie. Press the crust gently into the sides of the dish to seal. Cut small slits in the top for ventilation.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving it up!
- Use large spoon to serve.
- Work out the next day ;)
