HOMEMADE POT PIE WITH CHICKEN<\/h2>\n

Well it’s on cold days like these that we all need something warm for the soul and easy to prepare in the kitchen. <\/em><\/p>\n

Today I am going to make my creamy chicken pot pie for all of you.
<\/em><\/p>\n

This chicken pot pie<\/strong> is simple to put together and really good for using up those scraps of chicken or endless chicken drumsticks that seem to linger at the bottom of the freezer.<\/p>\n

That’s what I am using today the drumsticks that managed to sneak past me and make their way to the bottom of the freezer.<\/p>\n

With any homemade pot pie<\/strong> you can use whatever protein you like as you don’t need to use just chicken.<\/p>\n

The drumsticks weren’t completely defrosted but enough to be put into the oven to cook off until browned through.<\/p>\n

Chicken stock<\/span><\/h2>\n

I will also keep the bones and skin and make some chicken stock from them so I always have it on hand. Having chicken stock on hand is always something hand for every pantry. Besides, chicken stock is so easy to make. Left over chicken bones and skin, some juices out of the bottom of the pan and veggies that\u2019s just about on the way out.<\/p>\n

Today for my chicken pot pie I\u2019ll be using spring onion tops that I keep in the freezer, onion halved with the skin on, a carrot, celery, some herbs, salt and pepper. Just add enough water to cover the bones.<\/p>\n

I usually simmer the stock for a good 3-4 hours on low or overnight. Once I let the chicken stock cool I drain the liquid and discard everything else. I put the homemade chicken stock into containers then into the freezer they go. Now when you want to make soup you have an extremely flavourful chicken stock to use as your base.<\/p>\n

I have used this chicken pot pie<\/strong> recipe for many things from filling voluvaunts<\/a> or by adding ham to make a bigger meat dish to thinning it down adding more vegetable and calling it soup. The list goes on and on so just use your imagination and get creative.<\/p>\n

I made this chicken pot pie using puff pastry<\/strong> for this recipe but if you have time and want to make an easy chicken pot pie pastry<\/strong> you can easily use the pastry recipe from my mincemeat pie pastry recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This homemade chicken pot pie<\/strong> recipe<\/strong> is just another basic recipe that can be turned around at the last- minute to make a great meal for any occasion.<\/p>\n
