Anyone have good Pot Pie Recipes? Chicken, Beef, Turkey?

The secret to a good pot pie (never tried beef, but will add it to my "next" as I do like Shepperd's Pie) is to make it moist.

I usually use boneless chicken breast--2 to 2 1/2 lbs--(or leftover turkey) and simmmer slowly, on low, in Chicken stock until tender.

Remove and allow to cool a little

Then cut into pieces

Put into bowl and Add veggies (canned or frozen though canned are usually cheaper and just as good) whichever you like (I prefer mixed).

Usually 2 cans is sufficient...Oh and don't forget to drain!

Then add whatever spices you prefer. Me: (A LITLLE...as you can always addd more) Salt, pepper, onion powder, sage and poultry seasoning.

Now add (choice) chicken gravy or canned condensced soup....one or 2 depending on how much you need.

If using soup, might need to add some chicken stock.

Mix with hands and you can tell how creamy/moist it is...should be not too wet or to dry.

Taste to see if need to add any more spices

Transfer to pie plate (I like disposable aluminum ones which makes cleanup easier)

Cover with pie crust (again I use store bought) and poke a few vent holes.

Bake in pre-heated oven (350-375) for 30-40 min until crust is golden brown.

Bon appetit!

Thanks! I just purchased 12 Tuxton 14 oz. Pot Pie Bowls and intend to do Chicken pot pies first and freeze for easy quick meals (just pop in the oven - no muss not fuss).
