Lazy Day Chicken Pie

When the week is about to end, I start to develop a lazy syndrome for cooking. Reason being, I've been cooking all week, going to classes and working at the same time. So whenever I try to fight the urge of conveniently rolling down my car window and shouting my "double cheeseburger order" to the take-out machine,  I think of my lazy day chicken pie recipe.

This recipe was given to me by a friend of mine. I've made this many times with some minor adjustments and I basically eyeball everything. Instead of boiling or roasting the chicken ahead of time, I just go to Walmart to grab a rotisserie chicken (can't go wrong with that!) and debone it as well as soak up all the oil on a kitchen towel. The crust is a simple mixture of milk, flour and butter. You may not get the golden flaky texture but it's more of nice soft breading on top of the chicken meat.

Recipe:
Serves 4
Preheat oven to 400 F

Filling  
1 whole rotisserie chicken deboned and shredded
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
2/3 cups frozen carrots and peas

Crust
5-6 tbsp baking butter
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp baking powder 

1. Line a 8x8 baking pan with chicken
2. Add frozen vegetables to chicken
3. Melt butter in microwave till it turns to liquid
4. Add 2/3 cup of milk into butter
5. Sift Flour, pepper and baking powder
6. Add milk and butter to the dry ingredients from step 5 and mix it well till there are no clumps
7. Gently pour the mixture on top of the chicken and frozen vegetables making sure everywhere is coated

Bake for 20-30 minutes until the crust sets. 

For those who want more breading, you may increase the milk and all purpose flour to one cup each and a whole stick of butter (forget the calories!)

I only spent 7 bucks on this meal since I had most of the stuff in my pantry already :D
