How to Guide on Making the Best Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie is a dish that is made up with mostly chicken, vegetables and dough. I've been making this dish for about 15 years mostly out of curiosity about how people would like a homemade version of the frozen kind you buy from the store. My family and friends seems to enjoy it, and whenever I did a catering job for a night club or a party in which called for a super large Chicken Pot Pie, the people all love it because I made it spicy to counter act the liquor that they've consumed. The Chicken Pot Pie can be made with or without spiciness, but I found that the best way to make it is the original way in which I'm going to show you how.

Things that you will need: (for a normal serving of 6 to 8 people)

1.) One 6 to 8 (people serving size pan)
2.) A large cooking pot for cooking and a large pan for baking.
3.) One whole chicken or other parts if desired
4.) Celery about 6 stalks chopped
5.) One large chopped onion
6.) One large bell pepper chopped
7.) Two cans of Cream of Chicken soup
8.) Tony Roma's Creole seasoning
9.) Seasoning Salt
10.) Black Pepper
11.) Chicken Flavor Bouillon (2 blocks)
12.) Butter or Margarine (one stick)
13.) Red Pepper (a dash or as desired)
14.) 1 or 2 cans of Mixed Vegetables (drained)
15.) Large cooking pot with lid

Cut up chicken put into pot and fill with water to cover chicken, bring almost to boil and take off fire and set pot under cold running water until the chicken is cold to the bone, this is called (blanched heat cleaning). Refill the pot with enough water to cover the chicken add the seasonings, peppers, celery, onions, chicken flavor bouillon, bell peppers and cook until everything is tender, add the drained vegetables and the can soup alone with the butter or margarine, let cook to desired thickness and set aside.
