What Dirtbunny Did with the Leftover Chicken

Why, she made The Man's favorite: Chicken Pot Pie. At least that's what we call it around here.


First, you chop an onion and some carrots and celery and at least half a pound of mushrooms, but the more the better. Saute it all up in some butter or olive oil. While the veg are cooking, make a bechamel (butter and flour in a roux, whisk in chicken broth and cook until thickened) enriched with whatever dairy product you have. I would ordinarily use milk, but I have cream leftover from all the baking, so I used some of that. By now, your veg are done so add your cut-up leftover chicken to that and season well.


Now go make a big biscuit, which we've been over before.

Mix your meat, veg, and sauce together, put it in the patented pan, and put the big biscuit on top of that. Bake until the biscuit is done and the sauce is bubbly.
