Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken pot pie is so good and so easy to make. And it's easy to customize to exactly how you like it. If you don't like one of the vegetables, leave it out or switch it with another vegetable.

Ingredients:
2 Chicken breasts
4 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 cup butter beans, green beans, or english peas
1 cup corn
1 onion, diced
1 can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
salt to taste
pepper to taste
Crust: 1 stick butter, 1 1/2 cups self rising flour, 1 cup milk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breasts, salt, and pepper in pot and cover with water. Cook until done. Remove chicken breasts from broth to cool, but save broth.

Place vegetables and onion in chicken broth and cook on medium heat until done. (Add water if there is not enough broth to cover the vegetables.)

Once the vegetables are done, stir in the cream of mushroom or chicken soup.
Remove the chicken from the bone and cut up into small bite sized pieces. Add the chicken to the vegetables and then place in baking dish.
Make the crust by melting the stick of butter in the microwave on low heat. Stir the butter, self-rising flour and milk together. Spoon over filling until completely covered.
Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. (Or until the crust is brown and the filling is bubbly.)
Let rest for a few minutes then serve. Now you can enjoy your very own delicious homemade chicken pot pie. Yum! It's so good on a cold winter's day. Or any day for that matter.
