Chicken Pot Pie

Looking for something easy to do with left over chicken?  Try homemade chicken pot pie.  It takes some time to make, but you can make it ahead of time and bake just in time for dinner.

What you will need:
1 single pie crust
2 cups of cooked chunked chicken
1/2 cup of onion and celery sauteed in butter
2 potatoes diced and par boiled
2 large carrots diced and par boiled
1 cup diced and par boiled rutabaga
1 cup of frozen peas
1 small jar of pimentos
1 jar of chicken gravy, 2 if you like it moister then pictured

How to assemble the pot pie in a large casserole dish:
Mix the sauteed onions, celery, potatoes, carrots and rutabaga place in the casserole dish.
Salt and pepper to taste, next add the chunks of chicken, gravy and top with the still frozen peas.
Finally add the pimentos and top crust.

Bake in a hot oven 425 degrees for 20 minutes, protect the crust's edges with foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes.  Serve and enjoy the comfort of a warm one dish meal.
