Foodie Friday

I am so happy it is Friday!  This has been one heck of a long week.  With everything that has been going on, I have been craving some good old fashioned comfort food.  One meal that I fondly remember growing up that always made me feel warm & fuzzy was Chicken Pot Pie.  We used to get ours from Schwan's & let me tell you, it was delicious!  So this week I was in search of an awesome Chicken Pot Pie recipe that I could make for Marc & the girls.

Today's Chicken Pot Pie recipe comes from Pillsbury.

Ingredients

1 box Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box *I used store-brand*

1/3cup butter or margarine

1/3cup chopped onion

1/3cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 3/4 cups Progresso® chicken broth (from 32-oz carton) *I used Swanson*

1/2 cup milk

2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken or turkey

2 cups Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers™ frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

* Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

* Line pie dish with one of the pie crusts.

* In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender.

* Stir in flour, salt and pepper until well blended. Gradually stir in broth and milk, cooking and stirring until bubbly and thickened.

* Stir in chicken and mixed vegetables & then remove from heat.

* Spoon chicken mixture into crust-lined pan. Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Cut slits in several places in top crust.

* Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown. During last 15 to 20 minutes of baking, cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning.

* Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

The final verdict??!!  D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S!!!  It tasted JUST like Mr. Schwan Man's Chicken Pot Pie, if not better!  Marc & I could have seriously eaten the whole thing in one sitting!  It was just what I needed after a long, rough week.  I will DEFINITELY be making this recipe again!

If you are in the mood for some comfort food or just want to try out a new recipe, I highly recommend this chicken pot pie recipe!
