100% would make again

Although this uses leftover chicken, I serve it sometimes as a special company dinner. Actually, my husband may enjoy it more than the original roasted bird with all the fixings! -Marilyn Hockey, Lisle, Ontario

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken

  • PASTRY:
  • 1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons celery seed

Directions

  • In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, garlic, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually stir in water, milk and bouillon. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in chicken and vegetables; set aside.

The best potpie ever! The crust is a lot of work, but completely worth it! Even my 3-year old, who is not particularly fond of anything asks specifically for this dish!
