If you aint tried it this, way you aint had good potpie :) This recipe takes a while to make b/c you have to boil the chicken before anything, so that puts on a good hour of the recipe time..but it is worth it peoples!! I cant remember where I got the original recipe, but this is my version & im in love! Ingredients:
5 1/2 lbs whole chickens |
8 biscuits, pillsbury buttermilk uncooked |
6 tablespoons butter |
4 carrots, peeled & chopped |
4 celery ribs, chopped |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 cup peas, frozen ok |
4 garlic cloves, peeled & minced |
1 tablespoon italian seasoning, yes |
5 cups broth (its the cooking liquid you make while cooking the chicken, so dont buy this!) |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons milk |
1 egg |
Directions:
1. Remove & throw away all the insides of the chicken. Then rinse the chicken inside & out in your sink with water to clean.
2. Place the chicken in large pot & add water until it covers the chicken by about an inch. Bring it to a boil & then reduce heat to a simmer until meat is cooked throughly.about 1hour. While this is cooking chop & ready all the veggies.
3. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from pot & reserve 5 cups of the cooking liquid. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pull off the meat in large chunks & set aside.
4. Preheat Oven to 375?F. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat & add carrots, celery, onion & garlic and saute, stirring frequently for 10 minutes. Add the flour and stir while it cooks until the flour is a light brown for about 4 minutes. Then slowly whisk in the 5 cups of the reserved liquid & bring it to a low boil, continuing to whisk a bit. Add the Peas & Italian Seasoning (salt & pepper to taste if you want) reduce heat & simmer, stirring occasionally until thick for 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Add Chicken meat & remove from heat & transfer the mixture into a 9X13 inch baking dish or slightly larger (anything smaller & everything wont fit). Top with the uncooked biscuits. In a bowl beat the egg & milk together & lightly brush over the biscuits. Bake the Potpie until it is bubbling around edges & the biscuits are golden, about 25-30 minutes. ENJOY!
