Grandma’s Pot Pie
Created By Shirley Earley from Arlington, TX
1st Place—One Pot Meals
Ingredients:
- 1 roasted chicken, deboned
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 3 T. olive oil
- 4 carrots, sliced
- 2 c. chopped potatoes
- 1 med. Onion, finely chopped
- ¼ c. rosemary
- 1 c. butter, salted
- ¼ c. all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ c. half-and-half
- 1 (14-oz) box chicken stock
- 1 can peas, not drained
- 1 can corn, not drained
- 6 phyllo sheets, thawed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken on rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper and garlic salt. Roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly; discard skin and bones. Shred meat and set aside. While chicken is roasting, heat 2 table spoons of oil in large saucepan over medium. Add carrots, potatoes, onion and rosemary and butter. Cook until carrots are crisp-tendered, 8 to 10 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Gradually add half-and-half, stirring until smooth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to simmer and thickens. Slowly add chicken stock. Remove from heat; stir in peas, corn and chicken and season with salt and pepper. Line half of phyllo in baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees fro 15 minutes; let cool. Pour filling into a 9 inch deep-dish pie plate. Take remaining phyllo place over filling and press down about ½ inch from edge so phyllo fits inside rim of pie plate. Bake until golden and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Let pot pie cool 15 minutes before serving.
