Dad's Chicken Pot Pie

You will Need:
3 Cans - Cream of Chicken Soup
1 Can - Cream of Celery Soup
1/4 Cup - Miracle Whip
1 Bag - Frozen Peas
1 Bag - Frozen Carrots (or cut up fresh ones as I did here)
1 Celery Stalk
2 Chicken Breast
1 Egg
Onion (optional)
3-4 Potatoes (Blanched)
2 - 3 Pie Crust (doubled - top & bottom).  You can stuff all ingredients into 2 pies, or spread them out into 3 average pies.


The Potatoes didn't make it to the photoshoot. 

Brown Chicken on both sides. While the chicken is cooking, prepare your potatoes (cut up and boil). Then remove from pan and set aside to cool.  

Using the same pot from the chicken, add in your celery first (and onions if you wish).  Add in peas and carrots.  Keep heat low and stir occasionally. 

While veggies are cooking, start cutting up your chicken in to bite size cubes.

Add the cream of chicken & cream of celery soup to your veggies. 

Mix it up well.  Now is a good time to preheat the oven - 350 degrees.

Add 1/4 Cup Miracle Whip to the "soup" pan.

I had to throw my ingredients into a bigger pot!  Add in the Miracle here and mix well.  Then add in Potatoes & Chicken.  Keep on low heat, stirring occasionally. 

Prepare your pie crust.  The box I bought came with 2 crust, top & bottom. (Do the next steps for all 3 pies, or 2 if you choose.)

Once the crust is lined in the pan and the edges are folded over, fill the crust with pie filling.  Whisk 1 egg in a bowl, then brush the egg on the edge of pie crust.  This will be the "glue" that will keep the bottom & top together nicely.

Carefully roll out the top pie crust.

Make slits in the top and use a fork to pinch top & bottom crusts together. 


Remove excess pie around the edges.
Give the pie an "egg wash".  Then it is ready for the oven.  Cook for 1 hour or until golden brown.

Perfection!   I kept my other two pies (uncooked) to freeze for another day.
