Chicken Pot Pie

This is one of my favorites to make.  I always end up with more than I need but it is still a tasty treat. 

I missed having those pot pies in the box.  So Once I started using Carbquik,  they had a recipe on the side of their box which turns out quite nicely. 

It can be a little dry,  so I typically add a pad of butter to the top of it and all is well.

Here is the recipe and some pictures for your next culinary adventure!


Ingredients:
  • 16 oz of cooked Vegetables 
  • 1 cup cooked meat (chicken,  turkey, beef)
Voulete:
  • 2oz melted butter
  • 2 oz Carbquik
  • 10 oz Chicken/Beef broth
Topping:
  • 1c CarbQuik (approx 3.4 oz)
  • 1/4c Heavy Cream
  • 1/4c Water
  • 1 whole egg
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Cut meat into bite size pieces and fully cook. 
  2. Cook Vegetables until they area almost done.  (They will continue to cook when the pie is being baked.  This will avoid mush food) 
  3. Mix Meat,  Veggies and Voulete (See Below) in a 2 quart baking pan. 
  4. Mix topping ingredients and spread a thin layer over the vegetable mix. 
  5. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
Prepare Voulete : 
  1. Melt butter slowly in a medium sauce pan.  
  2. Add Carbquik and still on medium heat for 5 min,  
  3. Add Broth (This will cause the sauce to raise up and overflow,.  Be sure to see a large enough pan.  Blowing on it can help keep it from going over the sides)

Serve and enjoy!
