CHICKEN PIE

        

       

      

    Ingredients:

• prepared pastry for two-crust pie, homemade or package
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 6 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
• 2/3 cup half-and-half
• 3 cups chopped, cooked chicken

How to prepare chicken pie:

                                  Prepare pastry; divide in two portions,  about two-thirds in one portion and one-third in other.  Roll out the larger portion and line a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish (about 10x6). Melt butter in a medium saucepan;  add flour and seasonings and stir until smooth and bubbly.  Add liquids and cook slowly until thickened; add chicken. Pour into pastry-lined pan. Roll out remaining pastry; cover chicken mixture; pinch edges together. Bake at 425° for 35 minutes, or until pastry is nicely browned.
Chicken pie serves 6.
