Chicken Pot Pie...

I made a Chicken Pot Pie from what I had lying around the kitchen. It tasted pretty good, although it wasn't much to look at. I'll include my recipe here for what it's worth:

Chicken Pot Pie

4 stalks chopped celery

1 chopped onion

2 chopped carrots

1 chopped sweet potato (large)

1 can of corn

1/4-1/2 c. olive oil (I didn't measure)

1/2 c. flour

1 1/2 c. chicken broth (leftover from yesterday's crockpot chicken)

1/2 c. sour cream

1 c. milk

some shredded chicken breast (maybe 2 cups?)

some salt & pepper

2 pie crusts (I used the recipe from this cookbook)

In large saucepan, saute celery, onion, carrots, & sweet potato in olive oil for 5 minutes. Add four (& more olive oil if necessary), stir until smooth (mine never really got smooth). Gradually add broth, sour cream, milk & corn; stir until blended. Cook on medium heat until bubbly, approximately 20 minutes. Stir in chicken. Add salt & pepper to tast. Prepare pie crust. Put bottom crust in pie plate & pour in filling. Cover top with second pie crust; cut slits on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

Pretty ugly...but it sure made the most of what I had in the kitchen.

(It should also be noted that John has refused to eat the sweet potatoes I bought last week, but I was so confident that he would like them that I threw them into the pie...he was none the wiser...although I caved and told him about my secret ingredient eventually ;)
