Tonight, for the first time ever, we have a guest blogger. My dad always loved cooking while I was growing up and today I still consider him to be one of the best cooks I know! I’ve been visiting for a couple of days and he cooked something tonight that looked so delicious, I asked him to be a guest blogger. Here’s Gerry with recipe borrowed from close family friend Tammy!
Tammy’s Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
2 TBSP oil
1 pkg chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cans cream of potato soup
1 bag mixed veggies (corn, peas, green beans and carrots)
salt, pepper and cayenne to taste
1 box Pillsbury pie crust mix (makes 2 shells)
Method:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Spray nonstick cooking spray into the chicken fryer black iron pot. Add oil, saute’ onions and bell peppers until soft. Add mixed veggies and soups, stir till mixed and heat through. Add seasoning and simmer for five minutes.
Meanwhile, make your pie crusts according to package directions (*). Place one pie crust in the Pyrex pie dish and place dish in the oven for ten minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Lower temperature to 350 degrees. Fill the pie shell with the chicken mixture, attach top crust to the dish and put into the oven for 30 minutes or till light brown on top. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes or so.
*I made 2 pies with this, so I used two boxes of Great Value pie crusts, not already in the aluminum pan, the rounds that you roll out.
Hot out of the oven!
Beautiful Chicken Pot Pie
The Verdict (from Christen): This is the best chicken pot pie I ever had! Even my daughter loved the veggies in it! The flavors were great and the crust was flaky and buttery – perfect! I can’t wait to make this for my husband sometime soon!
