Making Chicken pot pie and thought I would finally post the recipe

I have already boiled 6 chickens and am doing the final 3 right now. The chickens have been boiled with carrots, onion, celery, S&P and saffron.

Once the chickens are cooked, remove them and all veggies from the pot.


1. Make the dough.
Recipe:

2 c flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbls. Crisco
1 egg
1/3 cup water


Mix together all ingredients except water and egg to form a coarse dough.


Mix together water and egg separate.


Mix water and egg mixture into dough. Mix until a smooth dough forms.


Roll out very thin(less than ¼”) on a well floured surface. Cut into squares, I make mine about 2inX2in. Add to pot pie with potatoes.



2. Cut up carrots and potatoes(could use any veggies you like, my Gram only does potatoes, we like carrots so I add them) Other add in could be celery, sweet potatoes, onion. Add the veggies to broth along with the dough.

3. Simmer for about 1 hour until potatoes are cooked. Add S&P to taste. While this is cooking pick apart chicken.

4. Add chicken to a serving bowl and spoon broth with dough and veggies over and serve!

NOTE: If you add the chicken while still cooking it will fall apart.

I like to serve this with rye bread, but with the dough cooked into it you really don't need it.
