- Ruthann's quick and easy chicken pie
-
- 1 box Pillsbury pie crust
- 2 cans chicken stock
- 4-5 boneless chiken breasts
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 t. dried thyme
- freshly ground pepper
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 4 Tbsp flour
-
- In a saucepan, combine all ingredients and simmer covered
- until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove the chicken and cut into small
- pieces. Set aside. Reduce the broth to approximately 2 cups. Remove from pan
- (in a two cup measure, ideally), strain and set aside.
-
- In the saucepan, melt 4 T. butter. Stir in 4 T. of flour. Stir and cook for 1
- minute. Return the broth to the pan, stirring constanly to avoid lumps. The
- gravy should be very thick. Remove from heat. Add the chiken and stir to
- combine. Add more pepper if desired.
-
- Line an 8-inch pie plate with pie crust. Add the chicken mixture and cover
- with the second crust. Crimp the edges, brush with milk or an egg wash, and
- cut 3-4 small slits on top.
-
- Bake in a pre-heated 450-degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the
- oven, and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
-
- (If you want to add veggies, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup mixed thawed frozen
- mixed vegetables when you add the chicken to the gravy)
