I have a super easy very tasty chicken pot pie recipe. My mother was kind enough to give me her cookbook (electronically) and this is one of our favorite recipes in it.
5 C. Cooked Chicken, Salted & Cubed
2 1/2 C. Chicken Broth (Left over from cooking the chicken, of course!)
1 can celery soup
2 eggs, hard-boiled, sliced
1/2 stick margarine, melted
1 C. Self Rising Flour
1 C. Milk
1/4 C. Mayonnaise
Place chicken in greased 10 x 13 casserole dish. Mix broth and soup and heat to boiling. Arrange egg slices over chicken. Make topping from final 4 ingredients. Mix well and pour over chicken. Bake @ 425 got 45 minutes.
Note: This will look really runny before you bake it. When it comes out it will have thickened and the topping will form a crust over the chicken.
I've altered the original slightly to fit our tastes. I'm not a big fan of hard boiled eggs so I leave that out. I add whatever frozen veggies I have on hand (ex: peas & carrots). I don't usually measure, just whatever looks right. This freezes really well although I would suggest freezing it before adding the topping and then add it when you are ready to bake.
What I really love about this is that with the addition of the veggies it's pretty much an all in one meal. You really would only need 1 side dish.

Thanks for the recipe. I LOVE to get new ones. I feel like I get into these cooking "ruts" where I can't think of anything creative or new at all...even with the aid of several cookbooks!!
Simple is good and so is anything that freezes well.
p.s I've been wanting a new, smaller whisk as the one I have is huge. I may have to venture into WS and try not to spend too much money!!
In our family Julie is the queen of finding things new and inventive. We take turns hosting "sister night" (wednesday night dinner) and more times than not we try something new at their house. Jack probably plays into this too as he is an excellent cook and is very willing to experiment. Most of those experiments turn out good but there are the occasional bad ones (Beanie-Weenie Quesadillas..need I say more?)
(For those that are curious they weren't made with Beanie-Weenies. Jack was experimenting with Chorizo in Quesadillas and for some reason the end result tasted something like Beanie-Weenies.)
