  • I am always looking for great recipes. I took a cooking class several months ago and the class instructor was the chef and owner of Bluephies Restaurant in Madison, WI. He shared this recipe with us. It’s a real comfort food—especially on a cold, winter night. This recipe was a regular recipe that was easy to adapt to waterless cookware.

    Chicken Pot Pie

    3 Tbsp. olive oil (conventional, nonwaterless pan)
    2 lbs. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
    2 medium carrot, diced
    4 celery stalks, diced
    1 large yellow onion, diced
    1 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
    2 Tbsp. soup base (vegetable or chicken)
    1 Tbsp. dried thyme
    2 tsp. dried oregano
    1 tsp. dried rubbed sage
    1 tsp. basil
    1 tsp. parsley
    1 1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. black pepper
    1/4 cup flour
    4 cups heavy cream
    2 cups water
    1 large unpeeled russet potato, diced
    1 cup corn kernels
    Pastry crust or your favorite biscuits

    Put chicken in stockpot that has been heated to medium hot. Add the chicken and sauté until it is cooked all the way through. Watch chicken, stirring occasionally, so it does not burn. When chicken is done, it should begin to shred easily. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté until carrots are tender.

    Add the soup base, thyme, oregano, basil, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook until fragrant.

    Add the flour and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the cream, water, potatoes, and corn to the pot. Cook until a fork goes through the potatoes without resistance. The starch in the potatoes and the flour will thicken the mixture. If you want a really thick filling, add more flour.

    For serving:

  • Put chicken mixture into a pie pan or other baking dish. Cover with a single pie crust or puff pastry. Seal the edges. Bake in 350 degree oven till crust is browned at the top.

  • Or prepare a package of your favorite biscuits and put filling over baked biscuits.
