THRIVE Chicken Pot Pie

The other night I made THRIVE chicken pot pie for dinner.  SOOO delish! 

I have posted a link to the youtube video that Kelsey Nixon made.  Unfortunately I couldnt find part 2.  Part 2 just tells how to roll out the dough, placing 1/2 of the dough in the bottom of your pie plate and then covering the top with dough.  In the video she uses fresh chicken.  You can do that or if you forgot to defrost the chicken or dont have any THRIVE freeze dried chicken will work just as well!  I used the FD chicken.

CHICKEN POT PIE

2 c. THRIVE chicken
1 c. THRIVE carrot dices
1 c. THRIVE green peas
1/2 c. THRIVE celery
1/3 c. butter
1/3 c. THRIVE chopped onion
1/3 c. THRIVE white flour
1/2 tsp THRIVE salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp celery seed
1 3/4 c. THRIVE chicken broth (1 3/4 tsp. THRIVE chicken bouillon + 1 3/4 c. water)
2/3 c. THRIVE instant milk rehydrated (4 Tbs instant milk powder + 2/3 c. water)

PIE CRUST (can use store bought crust or make your own)
4 c. THRIVE 6 grain pancake mix
4 Tbs melted butter
1 1/2 c. THRIVE instant milk rehydrated (9 Tbs instant milk powder + 2/3 c. water)

1- preheat oven to 425 deg

2- In sauce pan combine, chicken, carrots, peas and celery.  Cover w/water and boil for 15 minutes.  Remove from heat, drain and set aside.

3- In saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in better until soft.  Stir in flour, salt, pepper and celery seed.  Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk.  Simmer over medium low heat until thick.  Remove from heat and combine with chicken mixture.

FOR PIE CRUST

1- In lg bowl stir 6 grain pancake mix, butter and milk until soft dough forms.  On well floured (use pancake mix in place of flour) surface, work dough and shape into ball.  Knead 5 times.  Divide dough into 4 equal parts.

2- Gently press 1 part of dough parts into bottom of pie plate and up the sides.  Place 1/2 the chicken and sauce mixture in bottom of pie crust.  Roll out 1 dough ball and place over top and seal edges.  Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.  Assemble 2nd pe with remaining ingredients.

3- Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until dough is golden brown and filling is bubbling.  cool for 10 minutes before serving.

You can cook both pot pies or freeze one for a later time!

Enjoy!
