Recipe
DEEP DISH CHICKEN PIE
In medium saucepan over low heat melt butter; stir in flour. Off heat gradually stir in chicken broth and milk, keeping smooth. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbling; stir in chicken, salt and pepper. Keep hot, covered, over very low heat.
On pastry cloth with a covered rolling pin, roll out pastry to an 11x7 inch rectangle.
Turn the hot chicken mixture into a 1 1/2 quart oblong baking dish (10 x 6 x 1 3/4 inch); place rolled out pastry rectangle over hot mixture, sealing edges to side of dish. Cut 3 rows of 1 inch vents, 4 vents in each row, in pastry; slightly open each vent.
Bake in preheated 425 degree oven until chicken mixture is bubbling hot and pastry golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
Makes 6 servings.
