SAVORY CHICKEN POT PIE PAULA DEEN
I watched Paula Deen and her guest, Rodney Henry, make this and it looked soooo good! Plus they had such a good time making it. LOL I know there are quite a few good chicken pot pie recipes out there, but when I have the time, I love to roast this chicken and make this home-made pie crust. Otherwise, using a store-bought chicken and pie crust works just fine. From Food Network. Hope you enjoy! UPDATE: I meant to correct the measurements of the crust, I have done so now. Sorry for this mishap.

SAVORY CHICKEN POT PIE
Inspired by Paula Deen & Rodney Henry Paula had Rodney on her show recently and this is what the made (sort of...I made it MY way.) I had enough filling for 2 pies. I froze the other half of the filling. I also froze slices of the pie for my lunches. Here is the link to their original chicken pot pie recipe....

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. Chicken: Place rosemary sprigs, onion slices, garlic slices, and sage under the skin and place into a roasting pan. Salt and pepper the skin. Bake 45 minutes (or longer if using a whole chicken) or until the chicken is done. Remove the chicken from the oven and cool.
- 3. Roast carrots, onion wedges & potatoes drizzled with olive oil. (I put them on a sheet pan and put an oven rack above my chicken and cooked them both at the same time.) Roast until tender- 30 minutes or so.
- 4. When chicken has cooled, pour the 'juices ' from the pan into your bowl. Pull the meat from the bones and chop into bite sized pieces. Discard the herbs. Add potatoes, carrots, peas, corn, heavy cream and flour. *** OR you can make a white cream gravy instead of the heavy cream and flour mixture.*** Mix together well. Salt and pepper to taste.
- 5. Pour into the pie crust and top with the other piece of dough. Crimp the edges together with a fork. Brush the top crust with melted butter. Cut a small vent in the top. Bake in the preheated oven (350)for 50 minutes.
- 6. NOTE*** You could easily do this with left over chicken, rotisserie chicken or left over turkey meat from the holidays.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your pot pie. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peas, corn, and potatoes.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is a delicate meat, and it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the vegetables and chicken without being runny. If it's too thin, add a cornstarch slurry or some flour to thicken it.
- Use a good quality pie crust. The pie crust is an important part of the pot pie, so make sure it's flaky and delicious. You can use a store-bought pie crust or make your own.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make chicken pot pie. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or adjust the recipe to your liking.
Conclusion:
Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious chicken pot pie that the whole family will enjoy.
