Ingredients:

  • 1 roasting chicken, 4 to 5 pounds, cut up
  • 2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 ribs celery with some leaves, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry parsley flakes
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste if broth is salty

Preparation:

Chicken pot pie directions:
Place chicken parts in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. Add broth, water, celery, parsley, green onion, and salt. Bring to a boil; skim off foam. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours, or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken to a platter to cool. Strain broth into a bowl; set aside. Discard chicken skin; remove meat from bones. Place meat in a shallow 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Pour cream gravy over chicken pot pie and top with sour cream biscuits. Bake chicken pot pie at 425° for 15 to 20 minutes. Chicken pot pie serves 6.

Cream Gravy

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3 cups reserved chicken broth
  • 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over low heat. Stir in 1/4 cup flour; cook, stirring, until bubbly. Gradually add 3 cups of the strained chicken broth; cook until thickened and smooth. Just before you pour over chicken pot pie, beat together 2 egg yolks and 1/2 cup of half-and-half; stir into the thickened broth.

Sour Cream Biscuit Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
Sift flour, measure, and sift again with baking powder and salt; blend in butter. Add sour cream; knead several times on a lightly floured surface. Pat dough out, cut into diamonds or rounds and place over chicken or drop dough onto chicken pot pie by tablespoon.

This is very tasty!January 19, 2009By CoveredinGrace
"I made this the original way ONCE. It's really, really, good, but totally time consuming. Instead of keeping with the original recipe, I substitute cream soups for the cream gravy, add some canned veggies, use boneless skinless chicken breasts instead, and I only do the drop-biscuit method of the sour cream biscuits. It's an excellent recipe for the housewife or weekend chef who wants to devote a lot of time and energy and come out with a very appealing meal, but for most of us, in our day to day lives, it's a lot easier to make a few substitutions!"
