CHICKEN POTPIE

Just running around  errands today (and answering emails). Weather just cooled down so I decided to take the teens to the mall to check out if there are additional  items that they may like for school. The mall is not cooperating in my big day out as we did not find anything interesting other than the endless checkered shirts in the rack.  I found a Calvin Klein dress for only $30 but unfortunately the smallest is Size 2 --so nothing for me.

Then it started to rain.... I love this kind of weather! Makes me crave for hot chicken soup! So i decided to make a chicken potpie  -- my comfy food for a rainy day like this

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup  cooked chicken, cubed
1 cup mixed vegetables
1 can water chestnut
1 can condensed creamy chicken soup
rolled pastry dough (needs 2)
pepper
olive oil

Estimate Cost: $4  $6

STEP 1: Saute chicken and mixed vegetables (I only green beans for this recipe) in olive oil for 3 minutes

STEP 2: Add chicken soup. season with pepper. Simmer for another 2 minutes.

STEP 3: Roll out first dough in pie pan and place mixture.

STEP 4: Cover with second dough. Create  holes by pinching a fork around the pie (to allow steam to escape). Bake for 40 minutes at 375 degrees.

STEP 5: Let stand for 10 minutes before serving (and of course I can't wait, so it fell apart when I sliced it --  my tummy doesn't care)
