Weekend Comfort Food-Easy To Make Chicken Pot Pie

The holidays are here and we have the perfect weekend comfort food recipe with our easy-to-make Chicken Pot Pie.  Growing up Chicken Pot Pie was what going to grandma’s house was all about. There was something comforting about making the drive to her house and running through the door as the hearty aroma hit me as soon as a came in. In fact, it was only at my grandma’s house that I would willingly eat anything and everything without a fuss because let’s face it, everything better when grandma makes it. Fast forward to my own kids growing up after a hectic week I needed something that was easy to make and still reminded me of her house and there’s nothing that says weekend comfort food than Chicken Pot Pie. Not only is it quick to put together, but it also’s easy to change out and put in seasonal vegetables and if you make a double batch, then it freezes beautifully or can be packed and ready for Monday’s lunch. Let’s get cooking so your Chicken Pot Pie can start simmering and be ready for your family to savor this weekend.

Serves: 6 Cook Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoons cornstarch (thickener so use what you like to thicken)

1 tablespoon garlic 2 cups chicken broth

2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 1/2 cup of your favorite in-season vegetable or you can even use  frozen mixed vegetables

1 Package Perdue Chicken

1 – 16oz package pasta

3 teaspoons pepper

1 teaspoon salt

*(or you can use any grocery store rotisseries or pre-cooked chicken)

Instructions:

Bok pasta as directed on package. Shred pieces of chicken. Set Aside.

In a saute pan, add in butter, garlic, and turn to medium heat. Mix a little cornstarch with the broth to make a slurry.

Add broth and slurry to the pot and whisk. After whisking stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a low boil and reduce heat to low.

Once the sauce starts to thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon add in the chicken. Next stir in the vegetables. Add salt and pepper.

Drain pasta and toss in the sauce with vegetables and chicken. Top off with more fresh cracked black pepper.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary, Perdue Farms is on an exciting journey to becoming the most trusted name in premium proteins, and this direct-to-consumer initiative is our first step towards telling its story across all of its brands. To take them into the future they are not only working directly with small family farmers to raise animals with care but they have also started a new program that will deliver premium proteins directly to your door with the launch of their Perdue Farms’ new direct-to-consumer website. Let that sink in a minute-a way to have the products that you and your family have come to love delivered right to your house and in doing so is helping to support the Perdue Farms commitment to sustainability and our planet.  Being thoughtful stewards of the environment is one of Perdue Farms’ most important social pillars and in doing so, they’re taking these steps to lessen their carbon footprint and protect our ecosystem:

• For every bundle shipped, Perdue will donate to the Arbor Day Foundation, which is working to replant damaged areas of our nation’s forests. This donation will help reduce the carbon footprint required to ship their products to you.
• Perdue has designed our shipping boxes with sustainability in mind. Every box is made out of 100 percent recyclable cardboard and insulated with Green Cell Foam®. Green Cell Foam® is eco-friendly packaging and is biodegradable, compostable, and made from high-grade non-GMO cornstarch that is dissolvable in water.
• With each delivery comes a reusable and recyclable grocery bag with every purchase which is perfect especially if you live in California or other states that now charge you for bags. It’s a great reminder to reach for their bag next time you go to the store to avoid using paper or plastic.
• A pollinator seed packet is also included in every box. Perdue Farms wouldn’t be able to produce the food that they do without bees and butterflies, which help to make one out of every three bites of food we eat. Plant the seeds to create a robust pollinator habitat near your home!
