Not only do you will need to start with the basics when it comes to cooking however you nearly should start when understanding how to cook a fresh cuisine such as Chinese, Indian, Thai, or Indian food.

You also need to see that many of these notions are so simple that you may wonder why on earth you have never thought of them. I certainly hope that a few of these thoughts will get main features within your home.

This is my sons favorite meal. Traditionally, pot pie has peas as one of its veggies, but my kids and husband aren't fond of peas, so we substitute 1 cup of small broccoli florets instead. We also like to add some shredded cheese into ours, it's such a yummy addition.This recipe can be a bit time consuming, but it is well worth it.
Ingredients and spices that need to be Prepare to make Chicken Pot Pie:
- 1 pie crust (store bought or homemade)
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (whole milk or half and half work also)
- 1/2 tsp. each dried thyme, salt
- 1/4 tsp. each pepper, poultry seasoning
- 1 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup peeled and diced carrots
- 1 cup peas (we use small broccoli florets instead)
- 1 small potato, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese of choice (optional)
- 1 large egg, beaten
Steps to make Chicken Pot Pie
- Start by cooking your veggies... the carrots, peas (or broccoli in our case) and potatoes. We just combine everything in a large pot of water and boil until everything is just tender, about 4-6 minutes. Then set them aside.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook a minute or so more, until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to med-high and sprinkle the flour over the onion. Stir to incorporate and cook while stirring for a minute or two. Then, whisking continually, slowly add in the chicken broth and the cream. Stir in all the seasoning and whatever else you'd like and let it come to a low boil.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat down to med-low and allow to simmer until it has thickened, about 7-10 minutes. Taste to make sure it doesn't need any additional seasoning, then remove it from the heat. Stir in the cheese (if using) until it's melted and incorporated in. Then stir in the chicken and veggies.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lay the first pie dough disc into the bottom of a 9" pie dish. Pour the filling over the top. Lay the second dough disc over the top and trim any overhanging dough from around the edges. Use a fork or your fingers to crimp the edges and seal it.
- Use a small, sharp knife to cut a few slits across the top, so the steam can vent. Use a pastry brush to brush the beaten egg all over the top crust. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Use a pie shield if you'd like to prevent the edges of the crust from browning too much too quickly. I put it on before putting the pie in the oven and take it off with about 10 or so minutes left of bake time.
- Allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
While that is certainly not the end all be all guide to cooking fast and simple lunches it is good food for thought. The stark reality is that will get your creative juices flowing so you may prepare excellent lunches for the own family without having to complete too much heavy cooking at the approach.
