Chicken Pot Pie

I love Allrecipes.com, the best thing about this site is that they recalculate the recipe for the amount of people you are cooking for.  Most recipes are base on 4 to 6 people.  However I am always cooking for two people, it's a pain to recalculate the recipe myself.  I found this Chicken Pot Pie recipe and immediately went out to get the ingredients the next day to make it.  This recipe is so simple and delicious that I made it twice in one week.  I followed the recipe but found that the taste of the chicken was really bland.  The recipe said to boil the chicken breast and the vegetables together for 15 minutes. Instead of just white meat, I had a combination of white and dark.  Here is my recipe:

Recipe for two pot pie:

Ingredients

• 1 cup of cooked chicken breast and thighs
• 2 stalks of celery, diced
• 1 carrot, diced
• 5 button mushrooms, diced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 3 tablespoons peas
• 1/4 cup onion, diced
• 1 1/2 tablespoon flour
• 2 tablespoons milk
• a pinch of garlic powder
• half a pie crust
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

1.    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2.    Boil celery and carrot for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3.    Season the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Sprinkle with 1/2 spoon of flour.

4.    Saute mushrooms until they are golden brown in 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Remove and set aside.

5.    Saute the chicken in 1 tablespoon of oil until it is done. Remove and set aside.

6.    Saute onion until translucent and add the rest of the flour.

7.    Add stock and bring to a boil.

8.    Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add celery, carrots, mushrooms, chicken and milk and boil for 5 minutes.

9.    Spoon mixture into ramekins, add frozen peas.

10. Cover with pie crust, cut the crust for ventilation and bake for half hour.

Be careful, the ramekins and its contents are amazingly hot! Break open the crusts and let it vent for 15 minutes before eating. I also doubled the recipe and froze the fillings for the next time I wanted Chicken Pot Pie.  Thaw the frozen mixture, spoon the mixture into ramekins and cover with pie crust and bake.
