Chicken Pot Pie

[Tammy]

You can use either cooked chicken (left overs?) with canned chicken broth (Butterball or Campbell's) or dice up chicken and cook in broth or water. Add 2 - 3 diced potatoes. (I prefer less potatoes)

Slightly beat 2 - 3 eggs. Add flour until dough forms. Dough should not be sticky, but not as stiff as pie dough. Roll out on well-floured surface until approx. 1/4 inch thick, or thicker. Cut into 2 inch squares. Put in pot 1 piece at a time so it doesn't stick together. Cook until the potatoes are tender and dough is done.

This is a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. This is the only area I've ever found where "pot pie" is different from a "meat pie".

Hi Tammy!

Do you bake or boil in a pot? Is it more like Chicken and Dumplings or a traditional chicken pot pie?

Thanks.

You cook this in a pot.
This is what central Pennsylvania (amish country) calls pot pie, but it is more like a chicken and dumplings in the rest of the country.

My son grew up thinking this is what pot pie is. When he left the area and ordered it off a menu, he was greatly dissapointed when he got what we call a meat pie.
