Favorite Chicken Pot Pie


Preheat Oven to 425
Cook Time: 30-40min (or ~25 for mini pies)


Ingredients:
crust for a 9" double pie 
1/3 cup butter 
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup potato starch (this is the same equivalent as flour if you want to use that)

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1.5 cup broth
2/3 cup milk
 2.5-3 cups your choice of meat (I like chicken or turkey best)
2 cups mixed vegetables - cooked (I usually end up putting in more like 3 cups, my standard veggies are carrots and broccoli)

Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan; add onion; cook two minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, measure out broth and milk.  (For the broth I LOVE using Seitenbacher Vegetable Seasoning .  You use 1tsp per cup of "broth" called for, mixing it into water)
Add the starch or flour to the broth and mix thoroughly.  (if you mix the thickener in the cool water it wont clump)
Stir in broth and milk.  Cook stirring constantly until bubbly and thickened. Add meat and vegetables.
Spoon mixture into crust.


* if you want to make mini pies (like in the picture):
Each recipe will make 4 pies. We typically double the recipe and make 8.  If you choose to only put a top on the pie (again how I did it in the picture above) then you will need 1 crust per recipe (or two crusts for 8) Obviously you can tweak this if you like thicker crusts etc.
Lower cooking time to ~25min
