I saw this idea on Nigella Lawson’s cooking show. However I drastically changed this recipe, simply for the convenience of what I had in my fridge. I used virtually no dishes to make this, and it only costs about 5 dollars to make! Chicken Pot Pie may seem like a very time consuming dish, however I beg to differ. I timed my cooking last night, and after 25 minutes, the pie was done and in the oven. After another 15 minutes of baking the pie was PERFECT!
Liss’s Chicken pot Pie
1/2 chicken breast, cubed
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 carrot, chopped small for faster cooking
1 Stalk Celery, Chopped small
1/2 onion, chopped
1 Potato, chopped small
2TBSP Oregano
1TBSP Thyme, and 1TBSP Rosemary if you have it
2TSP chicken stock powder, mixed in 1 1/2 cups warm water
3TBSP Flour
1 tube Pillsbury Crescent rolls
In a large pot, begin by frying Onions and Garlic in oil until slightly softened, then add chicken cubes, salt and pepper, thyme, rosemary and Oregano. Cook until chicken is half cooked, and then add in the remaining vegetables. Cook for 10 minutes on med-high, until all vegetables are softened well. At this time, add the 3 spoonfuls of flour, and stir well to coat all ingredients in the pot evenly. Add the chicken stock and simmer on med-high until the mixture has thickened to a gravy like consistency. In 2 single portion oven-safe dishes, pour in chicken mixture almost to the top. With the Crescent roll pastry, cover the outer rim with 2 triangles. This will help to hold the middle pastry. Use two more triangles to cover as much of the pastry top as possible, then place on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastry on top is crispy and golden.
This recipe is so easy, and very delicious for a stay-at-home comfort meal. It just screams to be eaten by the fireplace watching tv on a cuddle night. Try is today and see what i mean!
