Recipe: Chicken Pot Pie
From: Betty Crocker Cookbook (Bridal Edition)
Notes: This turned out excellent. Lockstep ate leftovers for a couple of days and said that he'd eat this if I made it the same way again. I used a frozen, thawed pie crust (Marie Callender's) and then rolled/cut it to fit in the baking dishes (I used 1/4 on the bottom, 1/4 on the top on 1 small dish; then 1/4 on the bottom, 1/4 on the top on the other small dish. That equals out to 1 pie crust). Also, I halved this recipe... only made 3 servings worth instead of the full 6 servings (as typed below for the original 6 servings).
Recipe below is typed as written in the cookbook (Pages 330-331)
"Pot pie for dinner is possible, even if you're busy. Just pick up two ready-to-use pie crusts instead of making them yourself. You'll cut your preparation time in half."
Ingredients:
1 box (10 oz) frozen peas and carrots
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup milk
2 1/2 - 3 cups cut-up cooked chicken or turkey
Pastry for Two-Crust Pie (Page 123)
Directions:
1. Rinse frozen peas and carrots in cold water to separate; drain.
2. In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour, onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in broth and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken and peas; remove from heat.
3. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
4. Make pastry. Roll two-thirds of the pastry into 13-inch square. Ease into ungreased 9 -inch square pan. Pour chicken mixture into pastry-lined pan.
5. Roll remaining pastry into 11-inch square. Cut out designs with 1-inch cookie cutter. Place square over chicken mixture. Arrange cutouts on pastry. Turn edges of pastry under and flute. (See page 126 for Pastry Edges).
6. Bake about 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Yield: 6 servings

Looks great. I've been wanting to try a recipe for pot pie I saw on the Oct. 24th episode of Oprah - instead of pastry it is topped with cornbread. Yours looks so good that now I'm hankering for pot pie.
I'll give it a shot and if it turns out, I'll blog about it.
Oooohh! I LOVE cornbread! Let me know how it turns out for sure. Chicken pot pie is such a great food this time of year.
