Hello My Dears! How are you? I'm sharing a recipe with you today; it's been awhile since I've done a recipe post. Do you like chicken pie? If you're a vegetarian, I realize that question is moot, but if you eat meat, you might like this dish. First of all let me say that I ate my share of Swanson frozen pot pies (always chicken, never beef) when I was in college, and I certainly don't miss those. But there is something about that combination of chicken pieces, vegetables, gravy, and pastry crust that has always appealed to me. Just basic comfort food, I suppose. After I married, we moved away (not far though) for about eight years, but we saw our families often, especially after our son was born. Hal's paternal grandmother kept us supplied for years with her homemade chicken pies; sometimes we had four or five in the freezer at a time. They were so convenient to pull out and pop in the oven for an easy and tasty home-cooked meal. Fix some vegetables on the side, and sometimes bread, and you have a good meal, winter or summer. Granny and her sister made many a chicken pie with the United Methodist Women's group at their church over the years. Granny used to make extras for her family and she put lots of chicken in those. These ladies made their own pie crust from scratch, and it was awesome. So flaky and tender; I will always remember those pies.
