I am on a roll! A few weeks ago I baked a flourless chocolate torte cake, which was delicious...and yesterday, I made an amazing chicken pot pie (to which Lisa can give witness). The recipe was in a Swanson chicken broth ad, and aren't those always the best? Anyway, I made it. It's wonderful. End of story. Here's the recipe (credited with love to the Swanson ad in Real Simple) for those of you who cook:
Ingreeds:
-1 egg
-1 tbsp water
-6 cups diced cooked chicken (or turk-a-lurk)
-5 cups frozen vegetables (ANY KIND YOU WANT!)
-2 tbsp butter
-1/2 cup all purpose flour
-2 cups Swanson chicken broth (or stock)
-1/4 tsp ground black pepper
-1 sheet of puff pastry...thawed (they recommend Pepperidge Farm, and it was indeed perfect for the job)
-2 tbsp herbs (again...of your choice. I picked oregano, and went light on it.)
1. heat oven to 400 degs. Beat egg and water in bowl, and push it off to the side so you don't accidentally pour it in something!
2. put chicken and vegetables in 13" x 9" baking dish.
3. heat butter in saucepan over medium heat. add flour and cook, stir for 3 minutes. gradually stir in broth. cook and stir about 5 minutes or until thick/boiling. stir in black pepper. pour this lovely-looking sauce over chicken and vegetables.
4. unfold pastry sheet and roll (over lightly floured surface) until it would cover the baking dish. place pastry over filling. brush with egg and sprinkle with herbs.
5. bake 25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and filling is hot and bubbling.
I would post a picture, but I'd rather eat it. :)
And now, off to enjoy pictures of the new long underwear I just ordered, and to consider going to TJ Maxx to make sure I got the best deal. Oh, don't get me wrong; I'm not returning anything. But it couldn't hurt to buy more.
