BEST RECIPE FOR LEFTOVER CHICKEN: HOMEMADE CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• TO MAKE THE CRUST: Combine flour, butter, shortening, salt and sugar in a food processor. PULSE together, just until the mixture is crumbly and butter is broken into small pieces. Pour 1/3 cup ice water into the machine, and pulse 3 or 4 times. Squeeze a little dough in your hand to see whether it clumps together and is evenly moist. If not, add another tablespoon of water, and pulse 1 or 2 times more. Don't over mix so that the dough forms a ball.
• Turn out dough on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Lift ends of plastic to gather dough together inside. Press into a large disk, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use, for at least one hour, and up to 2 days.
• TO MAKE THE FILLING: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot, celery, leeks and tarragon, and cook, stirring, just until slightly softened but not browned (reduce the heat if necessary to prevent browning), about 3 minutes. Transfer cooked vegetables to a bowl, wipe out the skillet, and place it back on the stove.
• Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter, and melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking, until the mixture bubbles and smells cooked - 1 or 2 minutes. Do not let it brown. Whisk in 2 cups broth, and cook, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in cream, and cook 2 or 3 minutes, just until thickened. Add salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in remaining broth.
• TO ASSEMBLE THE PIE: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Add cooked vegetables and peas, chicken and sauce to 8-inch deep pie dish or other baking dish, mix gently, and taste for seasoning.
• Flour a work surface. Remove dough from refrigerator. Roll out the dough, turning and flouring often, and cut a shape approximately the size of your baking dish plus 1 1/2 inches overlap all around.
• Roll dough up onto the rolling pin, and unroll over dish, so it rests evenly on top of filling. Fold the edges under and crimp. Poke tip of knife through crust to create 3 vent holes near the center. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the entire crust with half & half. Place on cookie sheet, and place in oven.
• TO BAKE: Bake 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375 degrees. Bake 25 to 30 minutes more, until crust is golden and filling is bubbling through vents. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

LEFTOVER BEEF POT PIE

Steps:

• 1. fit first crust into a casserole dish. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix the Italian Seasoning package into one of the cans of gravy. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the cheese. Mix well...Pour into the pie crust. Sprinkle the cheese over the entire top. Top the the second pie crust and poke holes with a fork a couple of times for steam to escape. Place in oven and cook for about 30 minutes or until crust is brown. I usually baste the top with butter when it just begins to brown. It will give it a nice golden color. If I have leftover potatoes and carrots in my roast, I toss them in there too.
• 2. This is another idea that I use. When I make beef stew, if I have leftovers, I add a Tablespoon of flour to the beef stew and put it into a crust and top with cheddar cheese. That's all I do to it, because the gravy and vegetables are already in it...
