Chicken Potpie
Chicken potpie was a favorite childhood food, but my mother never wrote the recipe down. After some trial and error, I came up with this version. It tastes just like hers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2-1/4 cups water, divided
- 1-1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 3/4 cup uncooked thin egg noodles
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Pastry for single-crust pie

I usually double the ingredients and make 2 pies so we can have leftovers..or I freeze the 2nd pie. I have also made it before with a crust on bottom as well. I reduce the sodium by not adding any salted butter. I use unsalted butter or olive oil. You could also use a low or no sodium soup base instead of the granules.
haven't fixed this recipe as yet as I need to know how to reduce the sodium
Great recipe, I modified it slightly and removed the egg noodles and doubled the vegetables. Just a personal preference. There were no leftovers after my son and husband tried it.
Very novice cook and have had nothing but success with the recipe. I think I have surprised my entire family with this one. Everyone loves it. We don't make both pies at once per the recipe but I just save the filling for later to make a second potpie a day or two later. So I haven't tried freezing and thawing a potpie as of yet.
I have made this several times and it is always good but did make some changes (when you are 40 ml from town you go with what you've got and family taste). I substituted turkey for the chicken (post Thanksgiving try). When sauting the celery and onion, I add about 1 clove minced garlic and 1 tsp Creole/Cajun spice for added tick. I cook spaghetti broken into pieces instead of the noodles and thicken the sauce with 2 tblsp cornstarch BEFORE adding the mixed veggies and meat. To give more sauce you can add a can of your favorite 'cream of...' soup or a jar of gravy. It will be tasty tonight on a cool and rainy evening.
This was so easy to make and delicious! Even my husband said it was a keeper! I sauteed the veggies in coconut oil and added a dash of MollyMcbutter to get the buttery taste. I also had left over chicken from a rotisserie and added it in with the rest of the chicken. I've already made this twice!!
Fabulous recipe. I sauteed the veggies in olive oil instead of butter because of a dairy intolerance. Will definitely make again!
doubled the batch and made it in a 9X13 pan. had just enough left over for lunch next day. everyone even kids loved it.
really good! Used broken up angel hair pasta. Instead of pie pastry used biscuit from can
This was so good and even good for you!!!! I sent it to my mom who was recently diagnosed with diabetes because it will give her a nice balanced meal and she can even have a little more than 1 serving since there aren't to many carbs.
