Chicken Pot Pie

There is nothing like chicken pot pie especially the homemade version!

Ingredients Pot Pie:

• chicken (put in as much as you want - I like a to use a thigh, drumstick and breast)
• 2 cups chicken broth (home made version)
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 3 carrots (chopped)
• 2 celery stalks (chopped)
• 3 Tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 1 Tbsp sherry (optional)
• 1 corn on the cob (cut the corn off)

How To:

• Add the chicken to the broth and cook in a stock pot over medium heat.  Cover and simmer until the chicken is done (about 10-15 minutes)
• Take the chicken off the bone and shred it.
• Heat the oil and cook the carrots, onion, and celery for about 5 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the veggies and add to the chicken. 
• In the same stockpot, melt the butter.  Once melted, add the flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the chicken broth, milk and thyme and bring to a simmer.  Simmer while sauce thickens (a minute or two).
• Add the sauce to the chicken and veggies and add the corn.  Add the sherry if you want (it makes it a little bit sweeter but is not necessary - it is still yummy without!)
• Please in a baking dish and cover with crust.
• Cook in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
