    List of Ingredients





    5 cups cooked cubed chicken
    2 carrots
    5 ounces frozen baby peas
    4 ounces butter
    8 tablespoons flour
    4 cups chicken stock
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon crushed rosemary
    1/2 teaspoon thyme
    1/2 teaspoon sage
    1 medium pinch saffron
    pastry for 2 large pie crusts

    Recipe



    Dice carrots into 1/4 inch cubes. In a large bowl toss together the chicken, carrots and peas. Crumble saffron into chicken stock. In a medium-large saucepan melt butter over medium heat until bubbling but not browning. Whisk in flour and cook for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Slowly stir in chicken stock until well blended. Add spices and cook until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Pour sauce over chicken mixture and toss.

    Use this mixture to fill 9 individual pies pans (I use the small disposable foil tart pans, but I reuse them) or two large pie dishes. Top with pastry crust and cut vents. Bake at 375ºF for about 40 minutes (until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. These can be frozen after baking. No need to defrost, just bake until hot. Hint for busy cooks: the individual ones reheat more quickly than the large ones.
