3 cups cooked chicken, chopped 1 1/2 cups chicken broth 1 purchased or homemade pie crust 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms 1 medium onion, chopped 1/2 cup sliced celery 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper 1/3 cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1 cup milk or half and half 1/2 cup frozen peas 1 egg, beaten
Prepare pie crust.
In a large saucepan, melt butter or margarine. Add mushrooms, onion, celery and red bell pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir in flour, poultry seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt (less if using salty broth) and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the broth and milk, cook and stir until thickened and bubbling. Stir in chicken and peas, pour into a round casserole dish. Brush the edges of the casserole with beaten egg to help the pie crust adhere. Place pie crust over the mixture, cut to fit and crimp edges all around. Cut steam vents in top. If desired, re roll and cut excess pastry into strips or decorative shapes and lay over the crust. Brush with remaining beaten egg. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is browned.
Makes 6 servings.
