Chicken Pot Pie


Last Thursday, at around 5:30, I was having the hardest time deciding what to make for dinner. Seeing that we had some pre-made pie crusts and cooked chicken, I made Chicken Pot Pies.

I used a traditional recipe, from your good ole' Betty Crocker cookbook, except I changed the ingredients a little. I added two cans of corn, and I chopped up baby carrots and broccoli, and boiled them in water for a few minutes, until they were soft. I also doubled the recipe, so we had two pies, and we saved enough for leftovers for Friday's lunch.

I've always thought chicken pot pies couldn't be made on short notice, but these were quick and easy. I also made a lime jello salad, and garlic mashed potatoes with homemade gravy.

This reminds me of my college days: poor as a church mouse and living on pot pies and rice. You could have a huge, rib-sticking meal for about a quarter, and pretty tasty too. I would bet yours taste much better though.
