Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 carrots, chopped
6 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1 cup fresh or frozen green beans, thawed
1 cup corn kernels
1 yellow onion, diced
1 cup quartered red potatoes
3 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (.87 ounce) packages dry chicken gravy mix
4 cups water
1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crusts (such as Pillsbury®)
1 whole roasted chicken, bones and skin removed, meat shredded
¼ cup butter, cut into pieces
1 egg
¼ cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on the a rack on which you'll bake the pie.
  • Combine the carrots, celery, peas, green beans, corn, onion, red potatoes, and chicken broth in a large pot. Season the vegetable mixture with thyme, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the vegetables and set aside.
  • Place dry chicken gravy mix into another saucepan and gradually whisk in the water until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Set gravy aside and allow to continue to thicken as it cools.
  • Press one of the pie crusts into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon a layer of gravy (about 1/3 cup) into the crust. Layer the cooked vegetables and shredded chicken into the crust until the filling is level with the top of the pie dish. Pour the rest of the gravy slowly over the filling until gravy is visible at the top. Scatter butter pieces over the filling; top with second crust. Seal the 2 crusts together and crimp with a fork.
  • Whisk the egg and milk together in a bowl, and brush the egg wash over the top crust. Pierce the top crust several times to vent steam.
  • Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check periodically to see if the edge of the crust is browning too quickly; if needed, cover the edge with a strip of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.

CHICKEN TO DIE FOR

My sister-in-law gave me this recipe. My family loves my chicken to die for. They would eat it all the time if they could. When I crush the ritz I found that my food processor works the best to get the crackers small enough to coat the chicken. I use pie pans for the melted butter and crushed ritz's.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Chicken and Dumplings image

What makes this version of classic chicken and dumplings extra delicious is its long and slow simmer time. While this chicken and dumplings recipe will take about three hours to cook, everything comes together in a single Dutch oven, meaning this one-pot meal will require little clean-up afterwards. The chicken, celery, carrot, onion and parsley in this dish makes for a meaty, flavorful slow-cooked broth. Using Original Bisquick™ mix to make quick dumplings not only saves time but also produces light, fluffy dumplings for the topping. Use this beloved dish as the perfect excuse to gather around the table to make new memories with your family.

Tips:
