Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Pot Pie that is... smooth gold... Come listen to a story 'bout a bird named Ned, poor old rooster barely kept his family fed...

Ok - that isn't working and I'm feeling a little foolish! Here's my recipe for the week. Seriously filling, seriously tasty, ridiculously easy. Want to make it easier? Use frozen mixed vegetables instead of cooking your potatoes, carrots, onions and celery; and a rotisserie chicken from the deli section of your grocery store. I've even used canned chicken, and it's still yummy!

Ned's Pot Pie
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

1 lb. of your favorite chicken cuts
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 medium carrots, peeled and cubed

Place these three ingredients in a pot of salted, boiling water deep enough to cover. Boil gently for 10 minutes. Remove meat, potatoes and carrots. Let the meat cool until you can shred it. Discard bones and skin, if any.

2 Tbsp EVOO (Extra virgin olive oil)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped

Heat the oil to medium high in a small skillet. Add onions, celery and garlic. Allow the onions to slightly caramelize and turn translucent. Move to a medium mixing bowl.

1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt (plain) - optional
1 can evaporated milk, or 1 cup milk
1 Tbsp poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Add these four ingredients to the mixing bowl along with the shredded chicken, potatoes and carrots. Stir to combine.

1 two-crust premade pie crust

Sprinkle a deep baking dish lightly with flour. Lay one premade pie crust in the bottom of the dish, adjusting the crust as needed. Pour the contents of the mixing bowl into the baking dish, and top with the second crust. Pinch the crusts together around the edges, make several small slits in the top crust for steam to escape. Brush the top with melted butter, and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes to an hour (the crust should be brown and everything bubbly). Let set for 10 minutes. Serve with shredded cheddar or extra sour cream.
