Cozy Chicken Pot Pie

As a mother-daughter duo, we've been making versions of this for years. Sometimes for the family with an "use everything leftover in the fridge" kind of meal and sometimes it's being dropped off to a loved one in need. It's always full of comfort.

  • Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Make sure you'll have enough room to add the chicken stock. A pot may be a better choice for you.
  • Add onion, cook 3 minutes.

  • Stir in celery and cook until softened and lightly golden. I'm looking for some color on the bottom of the pan to create flavour and depth. Season with salt and pepper.

Deglaze and Make Sauce

  • Add brandy or white wine, make sure to scrape up all the brown bits. Once it is done bubbling, stir in the flour to form a roux. Cook 1-2 minutes.
