aunt june & betty joes easy chicken pot pie
This recipe was discovered 30 years ago - in my Aunt & Mama's Enquirer magazine - something good did come out of that magazine - other than questionable gossip - lol. This has been a family staple dinner - for many many years now. This recipe has been altered slightly - to make it our own family favorite and even more delicious! It's the easiest chicken pot pie - you'll ever make. If you are watching your fat intake - just take half of your crust off your plate - but warning - the crust is sooo good! Add - a fresh tossed green salad with canned mandarin oranges - fresh red tomatoes..for color and nutrition with a low fat dressing of choice- to accompany the chicken pot pie - and Voolah! A family favorite.that they will think you spent all day on. P.S. I'll probably be making this..in a day or two..i'll post a picture of it. It's a yummy looking dish!!

How To Make aunt june & betty joes easy chicken pot pie
-
1place whole chicken in seasoned water. (salt, pepper - and whatever seasoning you prefer) I like adding a little dried basil to mine. Boil - till completely cooked. Allow to cool - then remove skin - and shred meat. (Reserve about 2 cups of your chicken broth) Spread meat out in to the bottom of a large glass casserole dish. Next.. pour..approx. 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth over the meat. Spread 2 cans of cream of celery soup over this. Cook fresh potato (bake - but takes longer, or microwave 10 min - poke holes in potato..before microwaving. - cool and chop) -Spread carrots, peas, boiled sliced eggs (optional)and cooked potato in dish. Easy Crust: melt butter Then mix melted butter, flour and milk in a bowl. Spead evenly over the top of the other ingredients.. making sure..to spread all the way..to sides of dish. Bake (do not cover) - for about 45 min. to an hour..in a 450 degree oven. When crust is beautifully buttery golden in color - it's ready to enjoy! Crust taste best.first night.. but still - an absolutely delicious meal - as left overs the next day!!
