I made Gert's chicken pot pie the other night because I have all the ingredients at home. I omitted the potatoes because we don't really like it and added the corn kernels. I made my own pie crusts as well. With a food processor, pie crust is very easy to make. I did the lattice by hands, didn't know we get to buy the lattice pie cutter these days, can really save a lot of work.

Since I used raw chicken breasts instead of cooked and omitted the potatoes. My cooking method was slightly different. First, I had to saute the chicken until cooked with the onion, and I only used one cup of water since I didn't have to boil cook the potatoes. Lastly I thicken the sauce with some cornstarch.

A slice of the pot pie the lazy way (instead of the individual ones, Gert & I made it into one big pie)! My hubby actually liked it and had three huge pieces. Edda liked it too except the picky Evy. I think that was because she didn't like celery but she did finish the top crust and most of the filling. Gert, thanks for sharing this recipe. :o)
Editing to add:
This is what happen as of now, cloudy with heavy snow falls !! And it's MAY 1st TODAY!!

ReplyDeleteYou did the lattice pattern by hand! I'm so impressed!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gert. Sure, I will share the pastry recipe in a separate post later. My keeper recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Ting, really unpredictable! I didn't know there is a lattice mold until Gert posted the picture. :P
Ugh? What do you mean BBOven, like the movie "American Pie"? LMAO ROTFL :D :P
Thanks Ling!
Thanks Daphne. Yup, a bit messy without the food processor.
Thanks Cheryl. It turned out to be delicious too.
Hahaha...Peony, another toy to get huh? Actually this lattice very easy to do only.
Thanks Beachlover. I made lattice on my apple pie too and not difficult to make at all and the outcome is beautiful. Yeah, got a PR2, still less than before but at least it's not a zero anymore, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lily. Your place is snowing too? Crazy right?
Thanks Cakespy! :)
Thanks Rita. Will hop over to take a look after this! Would love to play!
Thanks D! :)
Thanks Dhanggit. It's hard to explain. One supposed to do the lattice on a countertop, then tranfer it to the pie and cut off the access.
Thanks baking fiend. :)
Yes I did Nilmandra and thanks!
wow, that lattice top is a sight to behold! i love chicken pot pie, but i usually get lazy and throw some store-bought puff pastry on top. i bow before you.
ReplyDeletealso, i'm totally with you on mixing the potatoes. somehow, they always seem to retain all the heat of the oven indefinitely, and then burn the heck outta my mouth.
That is one beautiful pie crust! I wish you were near by to teach me how to do that.
ReplyDeleteVery nice job!
Thanks Michelle! And you were right about the potatoes retain the heat, what's up with that right? :P
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristen. It's very easy, try it!
yaw.... I am not looking forward for the snow in May. I hope we don't get it. Your pot pie is very good looking!! Oh love it.
ReplyDeletewow...a lot of work for the lattice pattern....nice job and lovely pie....!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Pie! love the lattice patter n on your pie..lots of hardwork yeah. Hope I can try out this recipe pretty soon :) Thanks for sharing.
