CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE, THE CHEATER'S VERSION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F.
• Reheat chicken stew in a sauce pot or soup pot over low heat until just simmering and heated through. (You may of course make the stew in preparation for the pot pies, I just happened to have it left over from the day before.)
• Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Ladle stew into ramekins or other oven safe bowls, distributing evenly. Fill to top of bowls or ramekins.
• Whisk egg and milk together, set aside.
• Roll out biscuits (you may need to double them up, depending on the size of your serving dishes). brush rim of bowl or ramekin with egg mixture and lay biscuit dough over containers, pressing gently at the edges to seal the dough in place. cut four small slits in the top of each top to allow steam to escape. (careful, the stew is HOT)
• Brush tops of biscuits with egg mixture. Place sheet pan in oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until tops are a deep golden brown.
• Remove from oven and allow to rest approximately 5 minutes before serving.

CHEATER POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9 inch deep dish pie pan with melted butter; reserve some of the melted butter.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine mixed vegetables and chicken; cook until vegetables are tender. Fold in soup; mix well. Pour in milk and mix until smooth; mixture should not be runny. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil.
• Remove from heat and spread mixture into bottom of pie pan. Separate biscuits into layers and place gently on top of mixture. Drizzle remaining butter on top of biscuit layers.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

CHEATER'S CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Peel and cube potatoes and set to boil in slightly salted water to make mashed potatoes.
• Take leftover chicken or turkey and cut into 1" cubes, add to casserole dish.
• Measure out veggies, frozen or fresh and mix in with chicken/turkey.
• Add 1.5 cans of cream of chicken soup. I used whatever it took to coat the chicken and veggies. This is the stage I season at so add what you think would taste good ;) If it seems too thick you can add a little water or milk, but remember that heating it will also make it thinner.
• When potatoes are soft and water is slightly cloudy remove from heat and drain. Mash the potatoes with a mixer or by hand, adding butter or plain yogurt and the remaining cream of chicken soup. If potatoes are too stiff, add milk, but you don't want them to be runny. You will also want to salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour mashed potatoes over the chicken and veggie mix. I usually top it with a couple shakes of paprika for color.
• Bake covered at 450 for 30 minutes or until the filling starts to bubble up around the mashed potatoes.
• Remove from oven and let set for at least 5 minutes, the inside of that potpie will be like molten lava!
• Enjoy! Makes great next day lunch.
