Quoting Bill Swisher to Jim Weller <=-
There are some nice sounding choices there and if they're well
prepared the price is right too.
Most of the people living here are Grannies (married or widows)
who spent their lives cooking. They expect to be fed decently.
Then there's the Food Committee, the woman who lives across the
hall is on that committee. They set the prices. This is a 55+
Co-Op, the cook is hired by the owners (that's us). He's been
here for years, before me so they apparently like him and his
cooking. The few times I talked to him and ate his food I had
no complaints. He's on a first name basis with almost all of
the people and walks out to talk to people while they're eating
to sure everything is OK.
That sounds like a good set-up.

Title: Granny's Chicken Pot Pie
Categories: Chicken, Pies
Yield: 4 Servings
1 Whole chicken; cooked
Until tender
4 c Chicken broth
2 lg Carrots; diced
1 lg Onion; diced
2 Potatoes; diced
1 cn English peas
1 c Chicken broth
Flour as needed
Butter if needed
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 Pie crust
Can use baked, leftover chicken.
Cook 1 fryer (chicken) until tender. Remove chicken pieces from broth
and debone. Dice carrots. (Mom was specific that 2 carrots should be
used.) Chop up onion. Cook carrots and onion in chicken broth until
tender. Add diced potatoes to carrots and onions when carrots have
started to become soft. Cook vegetables until tender but not mushy.
Put potatoes, carrots, onions in bottom of 9X13 inch pan. Gently
spread can of peas (including liquid) over other vegetables. Layer
chicken over vegetables. Do not stir anything. Add 1 or 2 cups
additional broth. Can add small amount of butter if needed. Mom
believed in cooking chicken with skin on. If chicken had some fat,
she did not add butter. If chicken had no fat, she added 1 to 2
tablespoons butter. When pie is assembled, if it is real soupy, can
add small amount of flour.
Make pie crust. Spread on cobbler style. I cut strips of pie dough
and place it on lattice style. I lightly salt and pepper crust
prior to putting into oven. Bake at 375 degrees until crust is
brown.
