Chicken Pot Pie!


My goal was to be better and more consistent with posting on this blog. HOWEVER... where would I even start? Jonah's had bronchiolitis and we were having to do breathing treatments. Jonah, Isaiah, and Elijah all had ear infections, one after the other... Isaiah had been super sick, ear infections, sinus infection, virus... and now he's got a broken arm. So consistency? Not even close! I'm sorry about that! But what can I say? Family first!
Anyway, all that aside, dinner tonight is Chicken Pot Pie! Josh's response? "I don't like chicken pot pie." That's the first I've heard about it! But I've made this before, and he liked it. I told him he can like it or not, but he's going to eat it! So we'll see how that goes. :)
This recipe is from my friend Kim, and it's super easy. It's also really yummy! Let me know what you think! Two quick side notes about the chicken... First, if you're pressed for time, you can always just use a can or two of chunk chicken. Also, if you're going to go ahead and boil/chop chicken anyway, if you want, you can just go ahead and double it and save it for another chicken recipe. We're trying to cut back on our grocery bill some, and one way we're doing that is by eating a LOT of chicken...

Chicken Pot Pie

3-4 chicken breasts
1 1/3 c chicken broth
1 c self-rising flour
1 can cream of celery soup
1 c milk
can(s) peas, carrots, corn, etc.
medium onion, chopped
2/3 stick butter

Boil & chop chicken. Combine chicken, broth, cream of celery soup, veggies, and onion, and place in 11x7 or 9x9 baking dish. Mix flour and milk and pour over chicken mixture. Dot with butter. Bake at 400 for 45 min. or until dough is browning. Enjoy!
