This post was written by my lovely drivers ed teacher, Mrs. Deborah Newell. Mrs. Newell has informed me that she is a wonderful southern cook and wants to share her recipes with the world. So here it goes…
I am a Moravian and I love this recipe that tells of my roots in the Moravian Community. Everyone, loves this and when someone needs a meal, here it is.. but, the trick is: When you see yard sales, always buy the pie pans..That way when you send the pie to someone sick, they don’t have to worry about getting it back to you.. That alone would make me get better..Here goes:
Country Chicken Pie
first I go to the grocery store and buy those pie crust in the box (the shame of it all) and put one in the bottom of a deep dish pie pan.
WAIT!!! I am going to have to step in and make a comment here! STOREBOUGHT PIE CRUST!?!?!?! I just about had a heart attack when I read this! I believe that you shouls use home made pie crust. You may think it is alot of work, but trust me, it is worth it. So, be sure to check out my recipe for pie crust. -Teen Chef
2. I cook 3 large boneless or bone-in chicken breast (now, if that chicken was on weight watchers, cook 4)
3. after they are done, shred the chicken up just like you like to eat it.
4. I salt and pepper the chicken
Now, for the broth!
5.Add 1 TABLESPOON of flour to 1 cup of stock, and cook until thickened and pour over your chicken in the pie pan.
6. repeat number 5 for the gravy after this has been cooked (don’t forget salt and pepper in the gravy as well, or it will be bland and people will talk about you)
7. Cover the top of your pie with the other pie shell ( they come 2 in a box, so perfect) and cut slits or make a flower or anything to let that steam excape.. When I am feeling like Martha Stewart, I will take a tablespoon of butter and throw some flour in it and crumble it on the top before baking, but only when I am trying to impress someone, which ain’t often.
8. I cover it with foil and bake on 400 degrees for about 20 min.. uncover and bake until the top is brown, usually around 10 min.
Now this is your meal and you can serve it with a nice slaw too top this off. It should be Moravian Slaw but we will not tell the Baptist or anyother religion of my plan.. and the best part: ENJOY!
