    Recipe Introduction


    My youngest son loves Chicken Pot Pie and I found this recipe and thought I would try it. It turned out delicous and is a keeper.


    List of Ingredients


    • Crust
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 3/4 cup crisco shortening
    • 6 tablespoons cold water
    • Filling
    • 1/2 cup butter
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • black pepper to taste
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
    • 3 cups chicken broth
    • 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 3 cups cooked chicken, chopped
    • 2 carrots finely chopped
    • 2 stalks celery finely chopped
    • 2 potatoes peeled and cubed


    Instructions


    1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Roll one ball out to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate. Roll out top crust and set aside.
    2. Preheat oven to 400
    3. In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter. Blend in flour, salt, pepper and onion. Gradually stir in chicken broth. Cook, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened. In a seperate pan, saute mushrooms in 3 tablespoons of butter,then stir into saucepan. Stir in chicken, carrot, celery and potatoes. Mix well and pour into bottom pie crust. Cover with top crust, seal edges and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
    4. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
